Zion Williamson says playoff loss to Suns played part in late dunk

NEW ORLEANS -- New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson took two dribbles toward the rim and pulled off a 360 windmill dunk to end Friday night's game against the Phoenix Suns in style.

Some Suns players took exception to Williamson's slam, which happened with 1.9 seconds left to put the Pelicans up by double-digits. As the clock expired in New Orleans' 128-117 win, tempers flared as both benches cleared onto the court.

Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado, Suns guards Cameron Payne and Chris Paul and coaching staffs from both teams met near center court before team security helped to separate both teams.
