LeBron James' son, Bronny James, earned first-quarter minutes alongside Luka Doncic in Sunday's game between the LA Lakers and Miami Heat. The Lakers use him as an additional ball handler on the court due to the Heat's on-ball pressure. At that point, LA had rested Austin Reaves and Marcus Smart, the other two playmakers, who started alongside Doncic.Unlike previous games, Bronny looked comfortable. The former second-round pick had a four-minute run, which extended into the second quarter. In that frame, he had two points and one assist on 1 of 2 shots. His only field goal came off an alley-oop set up by Reaves.Bronny returned for another three-minute stint before the half ended, but it didn't alter his box score much, barring the addition of a rebound.The 20-year-old had a similar rotation pattern in the second half. Bronny re-entered the contest late in the third. His most relevant plays in that stretch included an attempt at the rim, which was blocked by Andrew Wiggins and a steal to close the quarter, followed by a near 70-feet heave.Bronny had a major run in the fourth quarter as he ended up playing 18 minutes on the night. He didn't score again, going 1-for-4, but had two impressive assists and three steals. Bronny had a plus-minus of +1.Here's Bronny James' final stat line vs. the Heat:Points: 2, Rebounds: 0, Assists: 2, Steals: 3, Blocks: 4, FG - 1-4, 3-PT FG: 0-4, Fouls: 3, +/- +1.Lakers HC JJ Redick impressed with Bronny James after solid effort in win over HeatLakers coach JJ Redick was impressed with sophomore Bronny James' performance in Sunday's 130-120 win against the Heat.

He was also impressed with Bronny's defense and physicality.Redick credited his star player's son for one of the best plays of the night when he threw a bullet pass to Marcus Smart in the corner. Bronny showed tremendous composure while attacking a closeout, attacking the paint with authority, and drawing the help defender, only to find Smart at the last minute.Here's what Redick said:"Bronny made the play of the game."The Lakers were up by four before Smart made it seven by knocking down the wide-open 3, completely swinging the momentum in LA's favor.Those were key minutes from Bronny James, who not only covered for the injured Gabe Vincent's minutes but also provided a cushion for the Lakers when Marcus Smart was off the floor.
