The New Orleans Pelicans delivered a jaw-dropping performance Friday night, overpowering the Los Angeles Clippers 112-104 at the Smoothie King Center! Zion Williamson, nicknamed 'Zanos' for his unstoppable rim attacks, dropped a career-high 34 points—ALL in the paint.
Talk about a one-man wrecking crew!
The Clippers threw everything at him: three centers, defensive vet PJ Tucker (back after 3 months on the bench), and a collective 'nope' from their playbook. But Zion? He shot 14/21, grabbed 4 offensive rebounds, and drew 10 fouls. Third quarter? Perfection—7/7 buckets. Clippers' defense: *crying Jordan meme*.
With this win, the Pelicans sealed their third victory over the Clippers this season, proving they're a dark horse to watch. Fans are already dubbing this the 'Zanos Game.' Could this be the start of a new NBA era? Stay tuned!
