The New Orleans Pelicans came into their game with the Philadelphia 76ers with their playoff hopes teetering on the brink of extinction.

The death blow was held off for one more night, as the shorthanded Pels showed some toughness and heart and got a win that kept their waning chances alive.

Zion Williamson had perhaps his best game as a professional, although we’ve been saying that a lot lately, putting the Pels on his back in the 4th quarter and carrying them to victory.
