Following a gutsy 108-103 victory, Zion Williamson let postgame media in on a little secret: the superstar fully expected for Lonzo Ball to make amends on his poor performance 24 hours earlier and be special on the second night of a back-to-back against the Golden State Warriors.
“I don’t usually say stuff like this, but Lonzo, he texted me last night,” Williamson said in postgame. “He just said, ‘My fault about last night, but I’ll be there tomorrow.’ I think that those are big words and it shows what he’s all about today. He came today and he showed out.
