Ingram was the hero of the night as he hit the game-winner in clutch time over former Raptor Pascal Siakam, who, according to Spotrac, has a $188,950,272 contract with the Pacers.

After securing the win, the Raptors star attended a postgame conference where a reporter asked him about his thoughts while hitting the game-winner.

"I knew he was in foul trouble. I knew he didn’t want to be overly aggressive. He was at my mercy at that point, and I just wanted to be super aggressive," Ingram said. "I saw him keep backing up. I just kept getting aggressive and getting to my spots."

Rumors about Brandon Ingram dating Glorilla began in July when the couple was spotted spending private time in Cabo. The Raptors star posted a picture of the rapper on his Instagram account in September, which further fuelled the rumors.

The rapper attended the Raptors vs Mavericks game on Oct. 27. Toronto suffered a 139-129 loss in that matchup, but after the game, Ingram and Glorilla hard-launched their relationship with a courtside kiss.
