Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
MIA-PHI feels similar to NOLA-LAL today. Zion, like Embiid v. MIA, could’ve closed out the Lakers at home if not for injury. Like LeBron & AD, Butler/Bam CAN keep it close on the road. Not sure they’ll overcome a full Embiid appearance. All eyes on the big man’s health though. – 1:21 AM
Clemente Almanza @CAlmanza1007
So either the Kings without Huerter and Monk or the Pelicans with a hobbled Zion and Ingram… I think I like the Thunder’s chances of making it past the 1st Round even more now – 12:41 AM

Zion nearly willed the Pelicans to a win before having to come off at the 3:13 mark with….we don’t know.
Willie Green called it “left leg soreness.”
The Pelicans have one more chance to punch their ticket to the playoffs. nola.com/sports/pelican…11:29 PM

Hard to provide much context for Zion with such limited info. Most of his prior injuries (MCL, meniscus, hamstring) have involved his opposite (right) leg but testing tomorrow will paint a clearer picture. – 10:44 PM

Mark Giannotto @mgiannotto
That game summed up why New Orleans isn’t legit threat in the west moving forward. Highest paid player (McCollum) looked old, 2nd-highest paid player (Zion) had 40 but couldn’t finish due to injury. 3rd and 4th highest paid players (Ingram, Valanciunas) got benched down stretch. – 10:14 PM

Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
In his first postseason game, Zion Williamson was absolutely money. He was the best player on the floor in the 2nd half and gave the Pelicans a real chance to win.
40 points
11 rebounds
5 assists
17-27 FGs
1 steal
1 block
But right now, we’re all left wondering about his status – 10:12 PM
David Aldridge @davidaldridgedc
Cruel outcome for Zion Williamson, and for the Pelicans. He’s been terrific this season. Now, New Orleans will hold its breath for a couple of days to see if it gets its superstar back for a win or go home game Friday against the Warriors-Kings winner. And: how do the Pels handle… – 10:11 PM

Lakers beat the Pelicans. Winner of Warriors-Kings will travel to New Orleans for a Friday night game against a Pelicans team that just lost Zion Williamson to a late injury (status unknown) and sat Brandon Ingram in crunch time. – 10:11 PM

Pelicans fall 110-106 to Lakers. Tough loss. After trailing by 18, game was tied at 95 after Zion Williamson scored, but he immediately exited with presumably an injury.
Pels have 1 more chance to make playoffs. Will face winner of tonight’s Warriors-Kings matchup Friday at SKC. – 10:09 PM

Pelicans lose to the Lakers, 110-106.
Zion Williamson had 40 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists but missed the final 3:13 after going to the locker room with an injury.

Pels play Kings-Warriors winner at home Friday. – 10:08 PM

DLo with a huge corner 3 to put the Lakers up 104-100 with 50.3 seconds left. Still no sign off Zion Williamson after went to the locker room.
If the Pels can’t get a bucket here, this one might be over. – 9:59 PM

A moment of recognition for the most significant night of Zion Williamson’s career thus far. Coming off 12 pts on 4-for-13 shooting Sunday, he has 40 pts on 17-for-27 tonight, 11 reb, 5 ast and has helped erase an 18-point lead for the Lakers. – 9:53 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Zion is just absolutely obliterating LeBron and AD in the second half – 9:52 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
NOP’s defensive unit of Alvarado, Murphy, Jones, Zion and Nance has impacted what LAL want to do, and Zion’s taking care of the offense. LeBron and AD are trying to find the extra energy, but Zion has plenty, now up to 40 points on 17 for 27 FG’s.
Tie game with 3:13 left. – 9:52 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Zion Williamson just made Anthony Davis look beyond average defensively on that drive and score. All tied up at 95 apiece.
Problem is, Zion just walked down the tunnel and presumably to the locker room. – 9:52 PM

Jovan Buha @jovanbuha
The Lakers call timeout after that Zion Williamson bucket. He’s up to 40. The game is tied 95-95 with 3:13 left. LA has looked gassed these last few minutes. The offense has stagnated. Pelicans’ trapping and swarming has disrupted their flow. – 9:52 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Zion Williamson goes thru AD’s chest for another bucket. He’s got 40 points.
It’s the second time in his career scoring 40+ points in a game. – 9:51 PM

LAL missed a pair of open 3’s in the final minutes of the 3rd Q, and New Orleans responded with a 6-0 run including 1 of 2 Zion FT’s with 0.4 seconds left, to trim LAL’s lead to 83-76 with 12 minutes to play. – 9:26 PM

Zion has been sensational tonight. He just can’t get any help from his teammates on offense. They did show some life late in the 3rd. Gotta get BI/CJ going at some point. – 9:26 PM
Jake Madison @NOLAJake
Pelicans showed life at the end of the 3rd quarter. Need to keep that momentum going. Great play by Zion to take over. – 9:25 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
D’Angelo Russell misses wide open 3 — hasn’t scored since first half — and Trey Murphy gets the rebound, dribbles down and hits a long bomb, his first of the night. After a block of Prince’s jumper, Zion Williamson appeared to get fouled at 3rd QTR buzzer. Referees reviewing. – 9:24 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
Big response from Zion individually from a scoring standpoint relative to Sunday: he’s converted 12 of 18 FG’s for a game-best 26 points. But Ingram’s 2nd on NOP with 11, and the Pels have hit only 5 3-pointers on the evening.
LAL lead 75-61 with 5:08 to go in the 3rd. – 9:15 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Zion Williamson’s been spectacular. After scoring the last six points for the Pelicans, he’s up to 26 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, as the Pelicans trail 75-61 with 5:08 left in the third. But someone else has to give help.
Zion: 12-18 FG (66%)
Rest of Pels: 13-42 FG (31.0%) – 9:14 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
After dominating NOP in the 2nd with a 34-14 margin, LAL bungled the final 21 seconds, failing to hold on for the last shot (instead turning it over w/4 sec. left) and then reaching in on Zion at midcourt before his eventual layup ahead of the buzzer.
Nonetheless, LAL up 60-50. – 8:41 PM

Zion goes coast to coast to get a layup to go at the buzzer and LAL takes a 60-50 lead into the half. LeBron 15 pts 5 ast 4 reb; D-Lo 15 pts 6 ast; Vincent with 6 pts and 1 stl in 8 extremely-effective minutes. Zion leads NOP with 20 pts on 9-of-15 shooting 8 reb 3 ast. – 8:41 PM

First quarter: Pelicans 34, Lakers 26
The Lakers were outscored 11-5 over the final 3:50 with LeBron off the floor. DLo has 13 points and 4 assists. AD has 5 points on just 2-of-6 shooting. LA is shooting 34.6%. Zion (10 points) has nearly matched his total from last game (12). – 8:07 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporter
LeBron sat with LAL trailing 23-21, and New Orleans finished the period on an 11-5 run to lead by 8 at 34-26.
Zion got untracked with LeBron sitting, hitting 5 of 6 FG’s, 3 of which came in that final stretch.
Lakers shot just 34.6% against increased NOP ball pressure. – 8:07 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory
End of 1st: Pelicans 34, Lakers 26
Williamson 10 pts, 6 rebs
Jones 7 pts
Ingram 5 pts
The activity on the Pels’ side has been infinitely better than it was on Sunday. AD has missed a couple bunnies at the rim, but the Pels are flying around on D. – 8:06 PM
Christian Clark @cclark_13
Zion caught a little rhythm with LeBron on the bench. Pelicans outscored Lakers 16-4 in the paint. They lead 34-26 after the first. – 8:06 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Fantastic first for Zion. He’s attacked the rim when he’s had the matchup, and when Lakers have loaded up he’s set up 3s. – 8:05 PM

Zion slips past LeBron AND AD for the score 😲

LeBron James just sat down, so what does Willie Green do? He quickly puts Zion Williamson right back into the game.
Let’s see if this pays off. – 7:53 PM
Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Love Pels going to the rarely used Zion as screener. He got it at the 3 point line with Reaves in his path, but took the 3 instead. Pels should be able to get good stuff out of that because you can’t go under on CJ and you can’t switch a guard onto Zion. – 7:47 PM

That Ingram to Zion connection 🤝

Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
Think the #Lakers sneak by but this should be a good one. Saw NOLA -1. They’re so overdue to make the playoffs in this Zion era. All they have to do is win a game they should be in prime position, but LeBron… – 7:36 PM

CJ McCollum

Lakers-Pelicans things to watch:
—LeBron’s drop defense on Zion and if Williamson will keep taking mid-range jumpers/Pels setting picks so Z gets downhill
—Whether Pelicans help defense will be alive unlike Sunday
—Ingram’s second game back, if him and Z will be rolling together – 6:46 PM
