Bronny James pieced together a second consecutive solid performance in Summer League, helping the Lakers to their second win in a row.
James scored 13 points in Thursday's 93-89 win over the Cavaliers, surpassing his career high of 12 points set Wednesday. He was effective from the jump once again, scoring efficiently from all three levels.
The 19-year-old guard was also clutch once again in the fourth quarter. The Lakers took the lead with five minutes left off his layup, and he drained a step-back 3-pointer two minutes later to cut the deficit.
Los Angeles' next Summer League game comes Saturday, July 20, against the Bulls.
