Los Angeles Lakers second-year forward Brandon Ingram has been relatively up and down so far this season. Against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night, Ingram had one of the better games of his career.
Ingram finished with 19 points, 10 rebounds, and three assists while shooting 50 percent from the field. Additionally, his tip-in with 0.7 seconds left sent the game to overtime in an eventual 102-99 win for the Lakers.
As for the catalyst for Ingram’s performance, head coach Luke Walton pointed to some trash-talking between him and Wizards forward Kelly Oubre Jr., who guarded him for much of the night.
