On April 14, Beijing time, is Ingram far from the first playoff game of his career? After helping the Pelicans win over the Spurs, they will face the Clippers for a playoff spot. Ingram contributed 11-of-19 to get 27+5+5 stats, especially when the Spurs chased only 6 points in the final moments, he stood up and delivered key goals in a row, becoming a key contributor to leading the team to win.
As the 2016 top talent, Ingram has entered the sixth season of his career, and he missed the playoffs for the first 5 seasons of his career, can he still sprint for the playoffs this year? In a play-off against the Spurs, Ingram lifted the ban without time limits and became the Pelicans' main offensive scoring point.
In the first quarter, Ingram played 10 minutes and 05 seconds, giving a 9-of-4 crosshair, including 1-of-3 three-pointers, plus 3-of-4 free throws, and had 11 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists. Ingram became the only player in the first quarter for the two teams to score in double figures, and more importantly, Ingram once broke through the death barrier Collins and became a very powerful scene.
With McCollum's explosion, the Pelicans once took a 21-point lead, and Ingram's offensive effectiveness declined, becoming more of the team's second-in-command assistant role.
However, when the Spurs trailed just six points in the final quarter, Ingram immediately stepped up to take over the game, and he made two key dry shots in succession to help the Pelicans regain a double-digit advantage. Ingram continued to score points and eventually helped the team beat the Spurs to advance to the second round of the playoffs and win a showdown with the Clippers for the No. 8 playoff seed in the West.
