My Player of the Game: Zion Williamson
Takeaways
- Zion busted his butt this game and played like he was giving it all he could to keep the Pelicans in it.
- Nikola Jokić had a triple-double so there's that.
- Pelicans were behind early in the game and never really made it close. It looked like an off night for the local team. .
