(sabasports report)Bronny James finally broke out in his fifth game in the Lakers’ summer League matchup with the Hawks. Browne scored nine points in the first half, his most in a game, and hit a 3-pointer to end an embarrassing streak of 0 for 16 from outside the arc. Despite a second-half slump and his FIRST technical foul, he hit another 3-pointer and finished with 12 points on 5-of-11 shooting, including two 3-pointers, as the Lakers edged the Hawks to end a five-game losing streak and win the summer League for the first time.
Browne’s performance in the first four summer league games was extremely poor, averaging only 4.3 points per game and going 0 for 15 from beyond the arc, and he was criticized by many people, including the Celtics’ new NBA champion and FMVP Jaylen Brown, although the latter later responded.
In the absence of Kneckert (Connect), facing the Hawks summer league, Brownie showed a very strong offensive desire, he broke through the first shot of the game, and continued to shoot points, become the offensive arrow of the Lakers.
