Brandon Ingram isn’t one to forget the past, and he let the Phoenix Suns know it after the New Orleans Pelicans recorded a 128-117 win on Friday.
The Suns had the last laugh when they trounced the Pelicans 4-2 in the first round of last year’s playoffs. And by the looks of it, Ingram’s comment in the aftermath of the win suggests that there is a rivalry in the offing.
The Pelicans have been scintillating this season and are placed first in the Western Conference standings with a 17-8 record, while the Suns (16-10) are third. The win on Friday now evens the score after the latter beat them earlier this season.
It’s all not over yet as the two teams clash again on Sunday, and on Saturday (Dec 17) again. But for now, New Orleans are happy to make it 1-1.
