Before his late-game heroics against Houston, James also got to have a memorable moment with his son Bronny on the court. He delivered a pinpoint alley-oop pass to Bronny during the second quarter, sending Laker fans into a frenzy.
LeBron and the Lakers now hold a commanding 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.
