Have long maintained that Zion Williamson is happy about playing for the Pelicans much more than most assume. Lee Anderson corroborated this earlier today to Jordy Culotta.
Plus, I explore when we could potentially see Zion — even perhaps this season. https://t.co/QiKOKubQTj pic.twitter.com/CsOlHlN9GT – 9:09 PM

Brooklyn leads the #Rockets 64-47. It’s the #Nets biggest halftime lead at home since Jan. 15 vs. New Orleans. They held Houston to 37.7 percent shooting and just 4-of-22 from deep. – 8:48 PM
