"Ingram put up one of his best performances as a member of the Raps. Coming into the game against the Suns, BI3 had combined for just 42 points on 15-43 shooting and 3-14 shooting from beyond the arc over his last 3 outings. On Friday night, he bounced back in a big way, notching 36 points on 13-20 shooting, including draining five threes on six attempts."
"All night, even when the score was not in Toronto's favour, Ingram did an excellent job of staying calm and showing patience. He was able to make the right reads out of doubles, get to his spots, and make tough shots. His hand was hot, but he wasn't forcing his shot."
"Seven of his 36 points on the night came during the final frame, as he shot 75 percent from the field in the fourth, knocking down three of his four attempts. It's not that he went ballistic; he played correct basketball and converted what came to him."
The Toronto Raptors defeated the Phoenix Suns 122-115, with Brandon Ingram delivering a dominant performance to secure the win. Both teams entered as 7th seeds after finishing as 11th seeds last season. Toronto trailed by as many as 11 points in the first half and by 10 points with eight minutes remaining, but mounted a fourth-quarter comeback. Ingram scored 36 points on efficient 13-20 shooting, including 5-6 from three-point range. He demonstrated composure throughout, making smart reads against double teams and converting difficult shots. In the crucial fourth quarter, Ingram scored seven points on 75% shooting, helping Toronto avoid another late-game collapse despite entering with the NBA's 29th-ranked fourth-quarter offense.
