Brandon Ingram was the best player on the floor

After a game where Brandon Ingram did not even scratch in the second half and looked soft on the floor, he came back in this game aggressive and set the tone for the Lakers to win this game. More importantly, he made plays down the stretch breaking down the Mavericks defense to stave off any hope of a comeback.

Brandon Ingram scored 29 points and dished out 6 assists in easily his best game of the season. For the first two games when Ingram made his impact on Luka Doncic with his defensive length, this game was impacted with his offensive impact and floor game. Doncic scored well in this game scoring 27 points, but he was shut down late in the game when it mattered.

For the last few days, Brandon Ingram’s future is the talk of the town right along with LeBron’s fluid return date. It is known that the Lakers have to make a decision on if Ingram is in the future plans financially this offseason. His game has brought a legitimate debate between fans on a game by game basis. Some like his game and his potential, while others feel that he should be packaged for an Anthony Davis deal (For the record…this will not happen before February 7th, 2019, please stop asking.).
