The New Orleans Pelicans have advanced to the semifinals of the in-season tournament after a 127-117 victory over the Sacramento Kings. Led by Brandon Ingram, the Pelicans put on an impressive display of offensive firepower as they cruised to the win.
Ingram was the star of the show, scoring a season-high 39 points on 15-of-25 shooting from the field. He also added seven rebounds and four assists in the win. His performance was key to the Pelicans’ success, as he was able to create shots for himself and his teammates, and he was able to keep the Kings’ defense off balance.
The Pelicans also received strong contributions from their other starters. Lonzo Ball had a double-double with 17 points and 10 assists, while Zion Williamson added 20 points and seven rebounds. JJ Redick and Steven Adams also chipped in with 11 and 10 points, respectively.
The Pelicans’ bench also played a key role in the victory. Nicolo Melli had 15 points, while Josh Hart added 14 points and five rebounds. The bench was able to provide a spark when needed, and they were able to help the Pelicans pull away late in the game.
The win was a huge confidence boost for the Pelicans, who have been struggling as of late. They now have a chance to make a deep run in the tournament, and they will look to Ingram to lead them to victory in their upcoming semifinal matchup. With Ingram playing at an All-Star level, the Pelicans have a great chance of advancing to the finals of the tournament.
