Bronny James plays a full 4th quarter and scores 5 points, including a 3-point game for the 2nd bucket in his NBA career.

Washington (AP) – Even on the road, Bronny James was quite a crowd favorite.

Fans in Washington shouted for LeBron James’ son early and often, and with Los Angeles Lakers far ahead of the wizards on Thursday night, the younger James played the entire fourth quarter of his team’s victory of 134-96.

Bronny James scored a career high five points. He shot only 1-for-6 from the field, but he made a running set-up while being buried and converted free throw into a three-point game.

“He did a lot of really good things tonight. I thought he made a couple of really lovely passports, ”said Lakers coach JJ Redick. “He was great defensively. It is the building block for every young player and I think tonight was a good, positive building block for him. “

James’ evening also included an airball from 3-point range, two rebounds, two assists and two errors. He came with a steal and made a nice long passport to Dalton Knecht for a can. Shortly after his lonely field goal, James drove again to the basket and lobbed a spawning oop to Christian Koloko for a can.

James closed the scoring with a couple of free kicks in the final seconds – and received an “MVP! MVP! “Song from the crowd.

“He has had eyeballs on him all his life. He’s used to it, ”Redick said. “I remember not playing much my rookie year and the second year. The Orlando fans would sometimes sing it in a blow -out in the fourth quarter – ‘We want JJ’ – and that’s a weird feeling. There is the audible kind of expectation every time you shoot the ball. It’s a lot.

“He has handled everything with dignity, grace, class, all that. He continues to grow. “
