New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram came to Tuesday night’s postgame news conference with his right ring and pinkie fingers taped up in black athletic tape, but he insisted he’ll be good to go for Game 6 on Thursday. “It’s fine,” Ingram said following the Pelicans’ 112-97 loss to the Phoenix Suns. “It got a little banged up during the game, but I’ll be all right.”

Mikal Bridges tonight:
31 points on 17 shots
Defended CJ McCollum for 36 plays, held him to 10 points on 3/11 shooting
Defended Brandon Ingram for 34 plays, held him to 7 points on 2/5 plus 3 turnovers
All that in 46:54 of playing time
Extraordinary performance for the Suns. – 12:52 AM

Pelicans had their chances late and couldn’t get shots to fall.
Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum went a combined 14-of-41. Gonna be hard to be the top-seed in the West at home if those two are both having off nights. – 12:42 AM

I’m gonna need to see the matchup data with Mikal Bridges on Brandon Ingram ASAP after this game. He’s been so incredibly good on both ends tonight – 12:31 AM

Brandon Ingram’s defense on Bridges hasn’t been good enough tonight. Now that they’re looking for him it’s been a problem – 12:21 AM

Crowder AND Payne both pick up their 5th fouls reaching on Brandon Ingram in the 3rd quarter. Bad situational awareness – 11:52 PM

I thought Brandon Ingram played maybe the best defense of his career in Game 4. Not so much tonight – 11:41 PM

You knew Chris Paul would come back strong. He’s got 16 points and 6 assists. Pels have to find some offense outside of Brandon Ingram (13 points) and CJ McCollum (12 points) in the second half. – 11:16 PM

If you’re wondering why this New Orleans team competing in #NBA playoffs might be better than you realized, consider:
#Pelicans current starting lineup is 11-5 in 2021-22
Pelicans are 12-4 in games Brandon Ingram has played since All-Star break (losses to Den, LAC, Phx twice) – 12:17 PM

The NBA playoffs expose all players at some point. For some like New Orleans’ Brandon Ingram, that has been a good thing. Here’s a look at Ingram as well as some other postseason stars this year. fullcourtpress.bulletin.com/playoff-power-… – 12:13 PM
