Both Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram hit huge shots in clutch time in their recent overtime thriller vs. the Boston Celtics.
Clutch time in the NBA is defined as the last five minutes of a game that is within five points, so basically it’s just the end of close games.
The Pels haven’t been in many close games this season, as they usually either blow teams out or get blown out themselves.
The Pels’ are just 18th in the league offensively in clutch time as a team but are 10th in defensive efficiency in close games, so for once, their defense is not the problem.
