The Los Angeles Lakers fell to the Houston Rockets, 105-99, marking their third loss in a row and seventh in the past 10 games, but the story of the night unquestionably was Andre Ingram. In a town where perfect stories are scripted, his NBA debut was nothing short of spectacular.
After spending 10 seasons in the development league, the 32-year-old rookie entered in late in the first quarter. And fittingly, Ingram, who leads the G League all-time with 713 made 3-pointers, caught fire.
His first shot was a 3-pointer, which was followed by a drive to the basket that drew a foul.
