My Player of the Game: Zion Williamson

Takeaways

• Zion Williamson is back like we haven't seen since his Duke days.
• This is the second game in a row where Zion has scored over 30 points.
• Trey Murphy's three-point shot was falling and it was much needed.
• Naji Marshall and Jose Alvarado hit some BIG shots for the Pelicans, and those off-the-bench points were needed.
• As Antonio Daniels said, "Zion is like a plane on the runway," and who can stop an airplane? No one.
• This game had a playoff-like feel to it, so it was fantastic to see the Pelicans win a game that was close the whole way through and pull away with the victory.
