Brandon Ingram delivers on Pelicans’ belief in him with stunning Game 2 performance vs. Suns

New York Times  

PHOENIX – Before every game, Larry Nance Jr. delivers the same message to Brandon Ingram as he’s taking the floor. It was the first time in Ingram’s career he’d ever finished a game with 35-plus points, 10-plus rebounds and 9-plus assists. I didn’t know what it would look like, but we continued to get better every single day with Willie being positive every single day and helping guys and teaching guys,” Ingram said. For him to hand it over and let me have the wheel a little bit sometimes is great for my confidence, and it also helps his confidence knowing that he has somebody on the floor that looks at the game exactly like him.” Though Devin Booker dominated the first half for the Suns, Brandon Ingram’s play was the difference-maker in the Pelicans win.
