Watch: Brandon Ingram hits five consecutive threes as Pelicans rout Raptors

Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram put on an absurd shooting performance on Monday night during New Orleans' 138-100 romp over the Raptors.

Over the final three minutes of the third quarter, Ingram drained five consecutive threes to build on a sizeable Pelicans lead.

The Pelicans were up 90-64 when Ingram's scoring barrage began and ballooned their lead to 34 points, 105-71, to start the fourth.

Ingram's incredible shooting display allowed him to sit the entire final frame. He finished with 41 points, shooting 16-of-21 from the field, including 8-of-11 from beyond the arc. 

Per OptaStats, he became the first player in NBA history to finish a game with at least 40 points, hit eight or more threes and shoot 75% with no turnovers.

ESPN's Andrew Lopez noted Ingram also set the franchise record for most threes made in one quarter (six) with his dominant third.

The Pelicans improved to 29-21 with their third straight win. Ingram's 41 points were a season-high and his most since April 9.
