The Pelicans keep racking up losses, but they enjoyed a nice performance from Brandon Ingram Sunday. Via the New Orleans Times-Picayune:
As the third quarter neared an end, Brandon Ingram drove to the basket and absorbed contact. He earned a trip to the free-throw line, where he scored his 32nd and 33rd points of the game.
Ingram scored a season-high 40 points, but on the second leg of New Orleans’ Texas two step, he received little help.
Ingram converted 15 of 28 field goals. His teammates combined to go 25 of 66.
The Pelicans lost to the Houston Rockets 118-108 on Sunday at Toyota Center.
They were unable to keep the positive momentum from their win over the Dallas Mavericks two nights earlier going, as they fell to the Rockets, one of the few teams that came into Sunday’s game below New Orleans (7-19) in the Western Conference standings.
