But after coming out of the game midway through the third quarter, many people began to notice that Booker wasn't on the bench. He simply looked unbothered through the first two quarters, raising the level of difficulty with every 3-pointer that found the bottom of the net. The Suns looked like they were going to run away with this game in large part due to Booker's 31 points in the first half.

Ingram was just dominant from start to finish against the Suns, and Phoenix will have to figure out a way to contain him heading into Game 3, because right now it doesn't look like anyone is capable of slowing him down. If it wasn't that, then he was getting switches off of screens to create space and drill mid-range jumpers. He was feasting on smaller defenders down in the block, killing them with turnaround jumpers. He moves so gracefully across the floor, and his ability to score at all three levels makes him a tough assignment for even the best perimeter defender. Ingram's game has always stood out because of his unique skill set at his size. It really didn't matter who the Suns put in front of Ingram, he was torching every defender in sight. Ingram's 10 points in the fourth quarter proved to be clutch for New Orleans as it fought tooth and nail for this win against the top-seeded Suns. He was drilling 3s, charging at the rim with great finesse and was making incredibly difficult shots from the midrange, too. The Suns didn't have an answer for the versatile forward all night, ankle roll and all.

Why he hasn't been moving quite like himself. TNT espied Brandon Ingram tweaking that left ankle. It was later discovered that he rolled his ankle at some point as he landed awkwardly after a jump shot. He was grimacing after every possession on offense and looked to favor one side as he gingerly moved around on defense. There was a point early in the third quarter where Ingram looked like he was laboring a bit every trip up the floor. Here are three takeaways from the Pelicans' Game 2 win over the Suns. He didn't return to the game after putting up 31 points in the first half, and is expected to get an MRI on his injured hamstring. But while this loss will leave a bad taste in Phoenix's mouth, the bigger concern is the health of Devin Booker, who left in the third quarter with right hamstring tightness. On the other end, the Suns really never were able to build up a big enough lead to blow this game wide open. Not many people expected New Orleans to even win a game in this series, but now the Pelicans will be heading back to Louisiana with a win under their belt and momentum going into Game 3. Led by a 37-point performance from Brandon Ingram, and another 23 points from CJ McCollum, the Pelicans held off a Phoenix team that fought until the very end of the game. The New Orleans Pelicans made a push late against the Phoenix Suns, in Game 2, and pulled out a 125-114 win over the No.
