New Orleans Pelicans rookie phenom Zion Williamson continued to impress during Thursday night's game against Utah as the NBA restarted its regular season Tuesday night, highlighted by an incredible assist to teammate Lonzo Ball.
It happened in the third quarter with the Pelicans holding a 63-57 lead after a defensive stop. The Pelicans went on a fast break, with Ball and Williamson taking the lead. Williamson took a pass from teammate Jrue Holiday, then dropped the dime to the wide-open Ball for the easy layup.
Williamson was limited to 15 minutes, scoring 13 points on 6-8 shooting. Unfortunately, Williamson wasn't allowed to play during crunch time at the end of the game, and his efforts weren't enough as the Jazz beat the Pelicans 106-104.
