Zion Williamson was ELECTRIC, Wemby vs. Jokic & Steph Curry is back(?) | SportsCenter

All right now let’s go to the NBA a meeting of the fourth and fifth seated teams in the west kawhai and the Clippers visiting Zion and the Pelicans the road team has won all three meetings between these two squads this season Zion in the lane contested didn’t matter

Next possession who is it Zion oh he’s feeling it right now squads up seven and then here Herbert Jones closes out the block PG shot and finishes with the dunk Pelicans push the lead to 11 right before the end of the third quarter it’s a tie game Zion gets it to

Go he had 27 points through three qus thanks in part to 16 in that one frame let’s go to the fourth Pelicans now up seven na Marshall Ali to Trey Murphy with the slam here come the Clippers trying to man charge PG gets it to go it’s a four-point

Game PG again finds his spot over Zion he had 26 and six Clippers were down five that’s the same score with a minute to play and then Larry Nance Junior inside and then Zion can I get an exclamation point there it is he had 34.7 boards Pelicans win at 112

104 these guys are a couple of stars you got the Nuggets you got the Spurs Nicole yic wemi first possession of the game like first possession wem’s like I need you to know me sir that is blocked and wem is the first rookie with 200 blocks

In a season since Tim Duncan back in 9798 was one be born then no 17 points s rebounds three blocks the rest of the game basically all yic one-on-one that went jokic’s way then joic gets the pass from Reggie Jackson Zach Collins no not going to happen nuggets had a very

Comfortable 17-point lead after that sharing is caring the Nuggets do it quite right moving the ball Christian Brown Payton Watson little alleyoop yic started it and everyone else got in on it and guess what the nuggets are up 19 at the end of the quarter it’s only the

First quarter now the second up 13 yic one-on-one with wemi gets one over wemi yic had 19 points four rebounds at the half in the third from Gordon to joic the lead is 14 Jamal m now doing some feeding this contestant doesn’t matter 31 points seven rebounds five assists

And yes the Nuggets win 117 106 the nuggets are now 11 and one since the All-Star break is that good yes it is it’s also the best record in the NBA since then they lead the league in field goal percentage and they now find themselves alone at top the

West all right the big three for the Suns have had a hard time being on the court for a lot of games this season injuries have been the issue but they were together tonight as they took on the Hornets in Charlotte there’s KD knocks down to three not a good

Shooting night for KD five of 15 from the floor finished with just 13 points but his team was cruising so it didn’t matter Devin Booker Baseline jumper gets it to go he made the free throw of course the next possession Yousef nkit to Booker had 14 in the quarter 21 in the

Game close seconds of that quarter Booker to Bradley Beal the suns were up 9267 after the third now on the fourth five minutes to go it’s still a double digit lead Beal mid-range pullup good he had 15 Booker had 11 assists by the way and then here’s B to KD 10389 again cruise control game for Phoenix Booker misses but nurkic is there he had 21 rebounds by the way to go along with his 13 points and the Suns went it easy 10796 then he is back kind of practice is better than nothing though and that’s

What the Warriors have been getting out of Steph Curry lately at least since he’s spraying some ankle against the Bulls last Thursday he’s missed the last two games against the Spurs and the Mavs they went one in one the hope is curry is going to be ready to go before

Tomorrow’s game against the Lakers been through all types of injuries so this one was was one uh it was a certain time frame to let let the um let my ankle heal and then have a little bit of work on the court to build back up so it’s tough to

Miss games but you obviously understand you can’t make things worse um knowing this what time of the year we’re we’re in right now we obviously brought him here to to play tomorrow but um with that said we’ll wait and see how he feels tomorrow uh before we make the

Determination but I I would expect him to [Applause] [Applause] play

SportsCenter runs back top plays from Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans vs. the LA Clippers, recap Victor Wembanyama and Nikola Jokic going head-to-head, Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns getting it done on the road in Charlotte and Steph Curry’s availability (ankle).

  1. That’s high IQ basketball by Jokic you don’t settle for perimeter shots if you’ve got a huge body/size/weight advantage you take down low and punish them.

  2. I ain’t gonna lie Zion looking healthy and in shape
    Would be interesting to see how far the pelicans can go in the playoffs with healthy Zion and BI 😮

  3. Wemby has a HIGHER true shooting percentage than Steph since Jan 1st, all while being one of the most dominant defenders in the NBA!
    Absolute insanity!
    To add to that Wemby is the first rookie with 200 blocks in a season since Tim Duncan in 1997-98 👏

  4. Paul George so overrated im glad he didn't come to the Lakers he would have been expensive for no reason like Westbrook was.

  5. Its unfair to compare eras but for me its obvious that jokic is the best centee ever. The level of skill has increased so much and IQ. If wilt or shaq or kareem or olajuwon would have born in this era then theyd be different animals but as of it is for my team Im taking jokic

  6. One good game that Zion have last night does not means his is a great player. Stop the highlights! He misses too much games.

  7. The NBA game has become straight up trash! I've never seen so many people travel down the court just to score.

  8. That's a cool interview angle! It was like Curry and Kerr they were talking directly to me! Really cool and kudos to whoever did the interview that way. Do more of that!

  9. How is offensive foul called nowadays? On the Jokic post up moves he clearly is winging out his off hand and pushing the defender away. Is this part of the reason the NBA has games with scores in the 130s now?
