Brandon Ingram flipped a switch when the New Orleans Pelicans needed him most.
Despite DeMar DeRozan, one of the NBA’s most prolific closers, scoring 16 of his 33 points during the game’s final 16 minutes, Ingram’s star shined the brightest, leading the Pelicans to a 115-111 victory against the Bulls in Chicago.
With New Orleans trailing 97-93, Ingram scored 14 of his team-high 22 points over the final 5:07 of regulation. He converted five of six field goals — consisting entirely of pressure jumpers — and nailed all three free throw attempts.
