The Pels shock Denver in an upset win 122 to 107 for the team’s first win of the season. Offseason acquisition, forward Brandon Ingram once again put on a show, dropping 25 points and five assists, including one thunderous dunk that got injured rookie Zion Williamson off his seat and celebrating almost onto the court. The former Laker is now averaging 27 points a contest through the first five games on 51 percent shooting, and 50 percent from three. Jahlil Okafor also impressed, putting up 26 points and five boards in 34 minutes. Team leader Jrue Holliday had a bounce back game with 19 points and seven assists.
