Pelicans waste 40-point effort from Ingram in 118-108 loss to Rockets

The rollercoaster ride continues for this New Orleans Pelicans basketball team and they sadly wasted one of the best individual performances of Brandon Ingram’s career.

After beating the Mavericks handily a few days ago, the Pelicans lost 118-108 to the Rockets in Houston Sunday night despite the fact that Ingram topped the 40-point plateau for just the third time in his career.

Houston entered this matchup playing well, flying high on a five-game winning streak, but to be fair, New Orleans didn’t play with the necessary force or focus to put themselves in position for the potential victory.
