Zion Williamson leads Pelicans to 114-96 comeback over Spurs

Zion Williamson led the New Orleans Pelicans to a significant victory over the San Antonio Spurs, scoring 22 points and grabbing nine rebounds as the team overcame a 17-point deficit to win 114-96. This win marks a turnaround for the Pelicans, who have faced a tough season marred by injuries, with Williamson's recent health and performance providing hope for the future. Kelly Olynyk, newly acquired from the Toronto Raptors, contributed with a double-double of 14 points and 15 rebounds, while rookie centers Yves Missi and Karlo Matkovic also shined, adding 15 and 19 points respectively. Williamson praised Olynyk's vision on the court, which enhances his own ability to dominate near the rim. This improved collaboration among players has led to two wins in the last three games, signaling a potential positive finish to the season. Despite the team's struggles, Williamson's commitment to maintaining his conditioning and performance remains a focal point for the Pelicans' aspirations.
