NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Brandon Ingram scored 29 points to lift the New Orleans Pelicans to a 101-94 victory over the Denver Nuggets, who played without three-time MVP Nikola Jokic.
Ingram twisted his left ankle in the second half but stayed in the game to help the injury-riddled Pelicans snap a six-game skid and end the Nuggets' five-game winning streak. Brandon Boston Jr. scored 19 points and Trey Murphy III had 17 points for New Orleans.
