Kimanni "Splashy" Ingram averaged 27 points as Jazz Gaming swept previously unbeaten Blazer5 Gaming on Friday in NBA 2K League action.

In other matches as Week 4 concluded, Mavs Gaming ruined NetsGC's season opener with a 2-0 series win, Pacers Gaming defeated Pistons GT 2-0, and Knicks Gaming rallied past Cavs Legion GC 2-1.

Originally due to begin its season March 24, the NBA 2K League postponed play because of the coronavirus pandemic. On April 27, the league announced an initial six-week, online-only schedule, with all 23 teams playing eight total matches from their home markets. Action finally began May 5.

Each match is a best-of-three, with the outcome of each three-game series counting as one win or one loss in the standings.

The Jazz (2-1) pulled off the surprise of the night against Blazer5 (4-1). Splashy scored 28 points and handed out nine assists as the Jazz took the opener 70-61. Spencer "Ria" Wyman contributed 12 points and 14 rebounds for the Jazz. Nidal "Mama Im Dat Man" Nasser had 22 points and eight assists for Blazer5, who got 15 points and 17 boards from Dayne "OneWildWalnut" Downey.

Splashy's 26 points and six assists were team highs as the Jazz sealed the series with a 69-66 win. Lytel "Lotty" Martin had 19 points for the Jazz, and Ria finished with 16 points and eight rebounds. Mama Im Dat Man had 35 points and 11 assists, and OneWildWalnut racked up 10 points and 12 rebounds.

"That all we can ask for," Ria, the No. 1 overall pick in 2019 NBA 2K League draft, said of the victory. "We dropped one vs. the Kings yesterday, and we had to bounce back. This was a must win for us, and that's what we went out and did. ...

"To be honest, this is what I've been waiting for, an opportunity to do what I got drafted for. I got drafted off of ... dominating people in the paint, so when I'm able to get the ball down low and have an opportunity to score, ... it's helping my team out, as you can see from the Blazer5 series."

Regarding the Jazz's prospects this season, Ria said, "We're a wild card. On any night, my backcourt can give us 60 (points), I can give us 30, Shaka ("Yeah I Compete" Browne) can get you a bucket out of the post. He's just playing amazing defense. This is one of the best teams I've ever played for. ... This is just fun, man. I love this."

Justin "Sherm" Sherman scored 30 points and recorded nine assists as the Mavs posted a 71-67 win over the Nets in their series' first game. Peter "PeteBeBallin" Malin added 11 points and 15 rebounds for the Mavs. Josh "Choc" Humphries had 34 points and nine assists while Aziz "Shuttles" Salem put up 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Nets, who became the last of the 23 NBA 2K League teams to start their season.

The Mavs sealed the sweep with a 64-58 victory behind 20 points and 16 rebounds from PeteBeBallin. Choc put up 37 points in the defeat.

Nicolas "Swizurk" Grech's 29-point effort powered the Pacers to a 79-58 opening win against the Pistons. Two Pacers produced double-doubles: Eddy "BOHIO" Perez (13 points, 11 assists) and Jomar "Jomar" Varela-Escapa (10 points, 16 rebounds).
