New Orleans needed to deliver in crunch time Sunday in order to cap a three-game Western Conference road trip in victorious fashion. Brandon Ingram made sure it happened.
In a nail-biter, Ingram took over the final two minutes, driving into the paint to score eight critical points to edge past Denver. The 2020 All-Star converted a pair of conventional three-point plays, then added two more free throws after a hard-charging drive at 0:29, putting the Pelicans in front by four points.
IT WAS OVER WHEN…
Denver missed three straight three-pointers with a chance to cut its deficit from four, giving New Orleans possession with a 109-105 edge and only 10 seconds left.
