The two swordsmen scored 50 points together. Brandon Ingram scored 26 points and Zion Williamson also scored 24 points. The New Orleans Pelicans defeated the New York Knicks 96-87, winning their second consecutive season.
Today, Brandon Ingram kept scoring from mid-range, and the healthy Zion Williamson kept challenging the basket and looking for the ball.
The Pelicans’ teamwork caused problems for the Knicks, who had to play on the road in less than 24 hours.
Zion Williamson said: “When Brandon Ingram and I came on the court together in the 4th quarter, we gave each other a look like, ‘Okay, now it’s our turn.'” This is what Pelicans head coach Willie Green wants of.
“They carried us tonight offensively, and that’s what they need to do day and night, that’s what they’re capable of doing, and we need those two guys to keep the offense going,” Willie Green said.
Zion Williamson missed most of last season due to a right hamstring injury on January 2. He scored at least 23 points in each of the first two games of this season.
