Zion 'a force' in Pelicans' preseason home opener

NEW ORLEANS -- Zion Williamson had just finished another layup at the rim while dealing with contact from the Utah Jazz's Ed Davis. The announced sold-out Smoothie King Center crowd sprang to its feet, reveling in what the New Orleans Pelicans rookie was doing in his preseason home debut.

The foul was called, and Williamson stepped to the line as he was about to finish off a 12-0 New Orleans run.

Josh Hart calmly walked up to him at the line and grabbed his muscle, squeezing Williamson's right arm.
