5. Can Brandon Ingram keep it up?

"The Lakers had better find a way to get some synergy between LeBron James and Brandon Ingram. These are the best two players on the team…period. Now it’s time to develop the chemistry between these two. The pairing can cover up a lot of flaws of the roster until Luke Walton figures it out. Both players need to spend a lot of time on the floor together."

Aftermath…

Rough night..it happens. Ingram got in foul trouble and never got in rhythm. Four points and five fouls. I did like the fact  that the Lakers let him run point at the beginning. But this will be a recurring theme. Offense fine…defensive struggles rearing it’s ugly head. Denver took him down low and he is in trouble down there.
