5 takeaways from the Pelicans loss to the Nets

-Brandon Ingram has started the season better than even the most optimistic Pelicans fans could have imagined, but tonight was his best performance in a season already full of great ones.

Any worries that there would be any lingering effects from the head injury that kept him from playing in the second half against Oklahoma City on Saturday were completely unfounded as Ingram reached a new career high with 40 points on 17-24 shooting, scoring from everywhere on the floor in a whole variety of ways. He had no problem getting to the rim or finding his own shot at any point against the Nets, no matter what defensive scheme they threw at him.
