Zion drops 33, hits 'impressive' layup with 3.8 secs left as Pels stop Spurs

SAN ANTONIO -- With time ticking away, Zion Williamson knew he had to make a play. But he also needed to know where Victor Wembanyama was.

As the 7-foot-4 rookie, as well as Jeremy Sochan and Devin Vassell tried to chase the New Orleans Pelicans forward down, Williamson ran up to the rim at full speed and used the soft touch on a layup to get his shot to fall with 3.8 seconds remaining.

The Pelicans got the stop they needed on the other end from Brandon Ingram as the team held on for a 114-113 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night.
