CLUTCH! Zion Williamson plays best game ever as New Orleans Pelicans beat Phoenix Suns



CLUTCH! Zion Williamson plays best game ever as New Orleans Pelicans beat Phoenix Suns

Zion Williamson just played the best game of his career in the biggest game of the season for the New Orleans Pelicans. Needing a win over Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and the Phoenix Suns, Zion elevated the Pels with not just scoring but mid range jumpers and blocks. Jake Madison breaks down how Zion led the team to a win but how it also took adjustments from the coaching staff and a big night from CJ McCollum as well.

    I hope this game by Zion wasn't an outlier. I remember in his very first game with the team, he hit two back to back to back to back threes (4 of 4). Everyone said, "Buckle up…if this is the overture, we got something special." It turned out to be fool's gold as we now know. Until tonight. he's mainly been a runaway Iron Horse 95% of the time.

    I don't want to rain on the young man's parade, but I have to see more of this and a little less of 'The Cannonball Express, to make me a believer.

    I will say this though, he played well when we had a point guard in the game with him.

    POINT GUARD!!! POINT GUARD!!! POINT GUARD!!!

    Those jumpshots in clutch times were the indication that more is to come. You can tell he’s put in serious work or he wouldn’t have taken them.

  11. @wiggywil

    Those Zion mini jumpers will come in handy when he get to his late 20's and early 30's when he cant blow by defenders anymore! BTW, the Booker stopper (or the slow down guy) is Alvarado guarding him staying under his chin on Defense

    The whole CJ salary was probably for this random game only. I’m happy the wheel stop against the phx sons.
    Great win!

  13. @mrstrong93

    Soo proud of the my Pels! what a critical win! 👏
    Overall the 3pt shots weren't falling then CJ and Alverado shot the lights out –
    Zions defence was 10/10 the Suns commentary were so biased they thought Beal was gonna cook Zion but Zion more than held his own! 💪

  14. @smh8824

    These are the games that should make us realize how griff & co messed up the chance of this franchise. Just imagine what we could do with a whatever rim runner (able to run 3mph, not even asking for more) and a whatever playmaker able to not bounce the ball in his feet in tight games.
    Thanks griff for the horrible job done in 5 SEASONS!

    Unless they don’t bench CJ and start Alvarado …then we don’t have a PG

  16. @gerryconstant4914

    As an old Biddy Basketball coach, I seldon thought the refs were bias or bad, however, they have just been plain bad against the Pels. Glad the team was able to overcome them & stay in the race for #6 & stay out of the Play-in.

  17. @mrstrong93

    CJ took better shots this game than in the Spurs game i like him taking under 20 shots and sharing the shots around

  19. @mrstrong93

    Playing Nance and going smaller won them that game – i wasnt sold on Nance but he adds to the defence and the offence with his agility for a big man

  20. @kingppen

    Hey is it anyway you can add highlights in to the YouTube videos we don’t ever get great clutch clips of us on big media

  22. @willscottmurray4883

    Great game for Z. He’s proving doubters like myself wrong when he leads this team to wins like tonight. Hope he keeps it up. CJ was also dynamic and Larry Nance deserves game ball imo. We don’t win without Larry playing like that.

  27. @nathan3874

    Is Trey the only person in the NBA that cant create his own shot or beat somebody one on one? SHM…..He could literally score 20 points a game if he would just drive and shoot. Quit taking the 28 foot 3's.
