Jordan Clarkson lauded his teammate Brandon Ingram's game-winner the best way he knew how, with some sheer honesty. Ingram was at the right place at the right time, elevating for a wide-open right wing 3-pointer with 0.8 seconds left in regulation, giving the Los Angeles Lakers a much-needed win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

“Sh*t, that motherf***er was wide open! He better shoot that mother f***er,” said an excited Clarkson, according to Serena Winters of Lakers Nation. “If you ain't shoot that sh*t, I might’ve slapped them worms right off your mother f***in' head.”

Brandon Ingram has started to show signs of being a reliable scorer and one of the best go-to options in Luke Walton's rotation due to his long strides and ability to score the ball from all around the court.

Yesterday's game-winner should help consolidate his case for being the Lakers' go-to man down the stretch. Jordan Clarkson eased up in his excitement a minute later, providing a deeper explanation on his thoughts on the game-winner.

“It's all confidence
 big for him, he put in a lot of work this summer, so it's good to see it come together,” added a proud Clarkson. “That’s my dog growing up right in front of my arms, that’s my young boy right there.”

The Lakers now have tied the season series with the Sixers, after surrendering a career-high 46 points to Joel Embiid in a 115-109 loss earlier last month.
