Zion Williamson had his first career triple-double with 27 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists and the New Orleans Pelicans beat the Phoenix Suns 124-116 on Thursday night for their third straight victory.
Williamson had 27 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists for his first career triple-double in the New Orleans Pelicans 124-116 win over the Phoenix Suns. The Pelicans have won three straight games, matching their longest streak of the season.
After his 37-point outing in LA on Tuesday, 17-year NBA veteran and three-time Sixth Man of the Year winner Lou Williams sent a strong message to Williamson.
The Pelicans have had a disastrous year with injuries, headlined by star forward Zion Williamson playing just 22 of New Orleans' first 59 games. The former first-overall pick has proven to be one of the league's most electric players when healthy and proved his value on Thursday night in Phoenix.
