Pelicans F Brandon Ingram Scores Career-High 49 Points in Win Over Jazz

Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram continued his impressive 2019-20 on Thursday, scoring a career-high 49 points in New Orleans' 138-132 victory.

Ingram outdueled Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. Ingram scored 49 points on 15-25 shooting, including a go-ahead field goal with 0.2 seconds remaining. Mitchell finished with 46 points on 16-34 from the field. He added seven threes in the loss.

Ingram's jumper didn't seal the victory for New Orleans. Jazz center Rudy Gobert was fouled with less than a second left in regulation, then made one of two free throws to send the game to overtime.
