Pelicans' Zion Williamson: Efficient scoring effort Friday

Williamson tallied 29 points (11-15 FG, 7-11 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals over 27 minutes during Friday's 111-103 loss to the Mavericks.

Williamson was held out of the Pelicans' final game before the All-Star break due to rest purposes, but he was back in action Friday. He finished as New Orleans' leading scorer, though he was limited to just four points across nine minutes in the fourth quarter as the Pelicans went 8-for-22 in the final period. Williamson has scored at least 28 points in four of his last five outings, and over that span, he has shot 67.9 percent from the floor while averaging 5.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.8 steals over 27.2 minutes per game.
