@RajChipalu: "Another nice drive and reverse from Bronny. He's got 14 on 5-10 shooting. Best offensive output so far in his 3rd G League game."

@NarrowGaming: "I hope Bronny continues to close the gap on the amount of nepotism involved in his career. You'll never see a 2nd round pick with this much pressure to succeed again"
