Brandon Ingram · Even with his unselfish nature nearly winning over, his teammates urging him not to miss, and the building’s energy erupting with each added bucket, no pressure nor defender could contain Brandon Ingram in one of the hottest shooting performances of his career. In what began as a simple in-rhythm 3-pointer as a way of punishing the Toronto Raptors’ conservative defense, the former All-Star forward turned one basket into another that led to a sequence that included five possessions and five consecutive 3-pointers. With a smile growing with each successive fireball, Ingram produced a personal 15-point barrage in just three minutes, unforgettable in the New Orleans Pelicans’ blowout win on February 5, 2024. Translating that perfection in other areas, Ingram cooked the opposition for 41 points (on 76 percent shooting), six rebounds, nine assists, one block, eight 3-pointers, and zero turnovers, NBA history’s first to ever match those numbers and percentages. · State of Mint · State of Mint
