Scoring Frenzy in the Final Quarter! Zion Williamson Sets New Season High, Unstoppable in Clutch Moments

On November 2, in the NBA regular season, the Pelicans defeated the Pacers 125-118. In this game, the Pelicans’ star player Zion Williamson had an outstanding performance, efficiently scoring 34 points on 14-of-20 shooting, along with 10 assists, 6 rebounds, and 2 steals, posting a +17 plus-minus rating. In the fourth quarter, Zion scored 16 points, becoming the top contributor to the team’s victory.

Zion started the game in great form, delivering several high-difficulty dunks and scoring 11 points in the first quarter. In the following two quarters, Zion’s performance was somewhat quieter, and the Pelicans were locked in a close battle with the Pacers. Entering the final quarter, the game remained tightly contested. However, in the crucial moments, Zion used his strength and positional advantages to score consistently in the paint. In the quarter, Zion went 6-of-7 for 16 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists. His unstoppable scoring in the closing stages left the Pacers completely demoralized.

The 34 points also marked Zion’s highest single-game scoring output of the season, surpassing his previous high of 31 points against the Warriors. With Murray, McCollum, and Jones all injured, the responsibility on Zion has undoubtedly increased. In this game, Zion demonstrated the qualities of a leader, and with three consecutive home games ahead, the team needs to capitalize on their momentum to improve their record.
