After scoring his first career triple-double in the previous game against the Hornets, Brandon Ingram this time broke his passing record, against the Clippers.
The New Orleans winger has scored 32 points (12/22 shooting) but he also distributed 13 assists, his record in a match so far being 12 offerings (three times). Brandon Ingram thus spent his evening shifting his players, in particular Trey Murphy III (32 points at 10/12 from afar), particularly hot, but the former Laker also found his teammates when they cut with complicated offerings to see, and to achieve.
“I have played this role all my life” he assures, while Willie Green, after having placed Zion Williamson at the center of his team’s offensive play at the start of the season, has now put Brandon Ingram at the center of the action. “I was a playmaker in high school. In college, of course, I didn’t have the ball in hand as much, and I didn’t pass the ball much. I can show what I can do in this team because we have good players who can do a lot on the pitch. CJ (McCollum) who can shoot and attack the circle. Larry (Nance Jr), JV (Jonas Valanciunas) or Naj (Marshall) who can end up in the circle. I can do the whole list but they make it easy for me. I just have to give them the pass and they take care of the rest. »
It’s a little more complicated but it is in any case the fourth consecutive victory for the Pelicans, who find the balance (37 wins – 37 losses) to place themselves in 9th place in the Western Conference.
