Lakers' win caps Zhuri and LeBron James' father-daughter road trip - ESPN

LeBron James accomplished another first in his illustrious career with Saturday's 129-101 win over the Golden State Warriors.

The first father-daughter road trip of his 23 years in the league.

«Good win, good win,» James said as he walked off the court and through the tunnel at Chase Center, holding hands with his 11-year-old daughter, Zhuri. «Good luck charm right here, 1-0.»

L.A. had been on a three-game losing streak prior to Saturday's game, and all three were painful in their own way. The first loss was a 111-89 blowout to the rival Boston Celtics; then there was a botched final play vs. the Orlando Magic; and finally, a missed last-second shot against an undermanned Phoenix Suns team, after the Lakers blew a double-digit lead.

The vibes were different Saturday, with the Lakers singing, «Happy Birthday» to Luka Doncic at the team hotel and presenting him with a cake in the shape of a basketball jersey — with half the icing depicting L.A.'s colors and the other half representing the Slovenian national team.

And then at the arena, they had a new player on the court pregame, with Zhuri doing dribbling drills along with her dad and even throwing him a lob for a dunk.

«I miss a lot of moments, you know, spending time with my kids because of my career,» said James, who has three children with his wife, Savannah, including Bronny (21) and Bryce (18).

«Over the course of my career, anytime I got moments with them either individually, two of them, three of them all together, whatever the case may be — it's always special for me. So to have my daughter want to come on the road and be with me [is special].»

James said he and Zhuri spent Friday as tourists in San Francisco, visiting Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge and
