"Brandon Ingram finished with just seven points on a dismal 3-for-15 shooting performance, marking a 20 percent clip. His 23.3% true shooting percentage was the worst mark by a player with 15+ FGA in Raptors playoff history."
"The recipe seemed simple following Game 1: feed Ingram, find him better looks, and encourage him to take the right shots. However, in Game 2, Ingram simply wasn't able to deliver."
"While a sense of panic in the aftermath of Game 2 is understandable, we shouldn't forget the effort Brandon Ingram put in during the regular season to help Toronto get to this point."
The Toronto Raptors lost Game 2 to the Cleveland Cavaliers, falling to a 0-2 series deficit. Brandon Ingram struggled significantly, scoring only seven points on 3-for-15 shooting. His true shooting percentage of 23.3% set a negative record for Raptors playoff history. Despite the team's reliance on Scottie Barnes, Ingram's role as a leading scorer is crucial. Adjustments were made to improve his shot opportunities, but he failed to capitalize. While his performance was disappointing, there remains hope for his contributions in the series.
