Zion Williamson: 'I'm trying my best to buy in right now'
Will Guillory: Zion: “Last year, we had a team meeting and we brought up some things I can do better, especially with buying into the program. Right now, it’s tough. I’m taking a little bit of a backseat right now. Im trusting the process. I’m trying my best to buy in right now.”

Final: Mavs 136, Pelicans 124
Ingram 20 pts, 5 rebs, 5 assts
Williamson 18 pts
Daniels 17 pts, 9 rebs
Pels lose their 5th in a row after a masterful performance from Kyrie (35 pts) and Luka (30 pts). Pels had no shot of slowing either of those guys down. Pels were 4-1, now 4-6. – 9:22 PM

Curious if we’ll see Larry Nance Jr. again. He seemed to have tweaked a shoulder before coming out early in the second quarter and didn’t see the court again, with Willie Green closing out the first half with Zion and JRE at the 4 & 5. – 8:19 PM

Mavs get a Kyrie explosion with 22 pts to take a 67-54 lead to halftime in NO. BTB 20 pt 1st halves for Kyrie (20 vs LAC). Their pace is off the charts with 52 FGA shooting 48%. NO having a hard time keeping up. Luka 15-4-4. Zion 14 to lead NO. 2nd half soon @971TheFreak – 8:18 PM

Pelicans have 11 turnovers at halftime. Zion with 5 of them. Not a whole lot to feel good about aside from Dyson Daniels’ play. It’s a 13-point deficit. – 8:15 PM

Pelicans showed a pulse before the end of the 1st half but then Kyrie Irving nails a 3 right before the buzzer to trail the Mavericks 67-54 at halftime.
Zion’s still clearly not Zion while Kyrie/Luka in top form, and Dallas’ effort level was superior. That’s a scary bad combo. – 8:14 PM

Willie Green called him a “hard-hat, lunch-pail guy.” Quin Snyder acknowledged him as one of the best defenders in the NBA.
Quentin Grimes is just that for the #Knicks, guarding Jayson Tatum, Donovan Mitchell & every star player in-between.
Except Zion.
