In just his fifth game, the son of NBA star LeBron James hit 6-of-11 shots from the field and dished out three assists, but his USC Trojans lost on the road to Oregon State 86-70.

He had several highlight plays, too – including a pair of 3-pointers and a breakaway slam.

James' previous high was six points against Alabama State on Dec. 19.

"We feel comfortable playing him more minutes," USC coach Andy Enfield said after the game. "And as long as he can keep that energy up, I thought he did a great job tonight."

Despite James' heroics, the Trojans fell to 6-7 overall, 0-2 in conference play.
