Los Angeles Lakers lose a heartbreaker to Milwaukee
By Ronald Agers
Brandon Ingram sent a limo for the Milwaukee Bucks!
Brandon Ingram probably sent a limo for the entire Bucks squad because he wanted to make sure the team got to the Staples Center safe so he could get his numbers.
Boy did this dude get his numbers.
In 39 minutes, Brandon Ingram scored 31 points on a very efficient 13-of-21 from the field with eight rebounds, two assists and a block. He did not miss in the first half knocking down his first eight shots from the field which included one of the nastiest moves in his career and yes, we all saw a filthy one earlier.
Ingram comes down on the break, makes Nikola Mirotic into a smoothie, blows by Ersan Ilyasova and reverse dunks on top of his head.
Note to the Lakers front office, Brandon Ingram needs that “Untouchable” label back on his resume. Ingram does not need to be traded. Anthony Davis is not coming, so Ingram is not needed for trade talks.
At the beginning of the year, the narrative was that Ingram could not play alongside LeBron James, that he looked lost and he could not operate with James together.
Well, we can all put that myth to bed now can’t we?
With the Los Angeles Lakers playoff chances slipping away, now is the time to really start figuring out who to keep going forward. Brandon Ingram is averaging more than 27 points a game after the All-Star break and has been the best player on the roster.
