The New Orleans Pelicans are on an impressive rise from their 1-7 start, but there’s been a throughline to the team’s successes this season. Brandon Ingram is in the midst of a career season, but for the first time with the new team, the lanky scorer dominated in the clutch.
Last night’s match was as tough as it appeared on paper, but the Pelicans found a way to knock-off the current eight-seeded Phoenix Suns, riding an epic clutch performance from Ingram to the finish line.
Entering the fourth quarter, Ingram had 13 points and 5 rebounds but played most of the game in foul trouble.
