In the match that served as the conclusion to this big NBA night, Brandon Ingram therefore took quite a heat stroke. Like the impression of seeing KD stoned and with hair, but in the end it’s the same: a guy that no one can stop.
The house stats of this last match of the night are right here!
We were expecting a new offensive demo from Damian Lillard? We got it, in part, but this morning it’s not what jumps out at us the most. 41 pawns for queen, despite a lack of success at 3-pointers because from time to time sir is human. Then this somewhat disturbing number, zero assists, testified the playmaker, absolutely not backed last night by Anfernee Simons and even less by Shaedon Sharpe.
Brief.
Not everything is to be thrown away on the Blazers side, for example we liked the slaughter of Trendon Watford and, above all, the new defensive masterpiece of Matisse Thybulle, as incredible as he is unable to do everything on his own.
For the Pels? A very big game from… CJ McCollum, back at the Moda Center for the second time with a different jersey than the Blazersa great evening from Jaxson Hayes as well, which proves that he’s good for something when he uses his brain, and therefore this huge performance by Brandon Ingram, who entered into a kind of duel of the dead with Damian Lillard, duel from which he will emerge victorious even if, rest assured, Damian Lillard is doing very well because the sentence you have just read remains very colorful.
40 points at 18/29 shooting and 3/3 throwing, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals in 38 minutes
A feeling of fullness, of invincibility even without a cape, although its spindly side sometimes allows it to go unnoticed. King of the midrange, too long to be worried regarding by the defenders and a Thybulle too busy managing the McCollum case and many other things, in short BI was sensational last night and he made Zion Williamson shout well, present to see everything it live from the bench.
A performance that confirms the good form of Brandon Ingram and, just to link business with pleasure, which allows the Pels to take an oh so important victory in the race for the Playoffs. And with such a hot leader, the Zozios can see it coming.
