Very interesting moment there.
CJ hit the three and it killed the noise in the arena.
Then, Zion takes the ball himself and goes up for a big jam. Revitalizing the energy in the arena.
It’s like he felt the momentum shift and took it right back! Great to see from a young guy!
If Hart can bring this consistently he's a 20/10 guy lol.
Hello Operator,
I want to report some Hassan Whiteside abuse.
Hello? Hello?
That was the most ridiculous sequence I've seen in a long time.
From @ESPNStatsInfo: Zion is the 3rd player with 7 20-pt games in his first 10 career games over the last 30 seasons. He joins Grant Hill and Shaq.

He is the only player in that span to do it in his first 9 career games.
The last player to do that was Ron Harper in 1986-87.
I LOVE THIS! THE ENERGY! THE EFFORT! LET'S GOOO!
Best quarter of the season? WHAT A HUSTLE
Best string of minutes of the entire season?
I think it may be.
''Force Zion right''

...okay
Lillard has 17 on 5/14 shooting.
He runs into a wall whenever he plays the Pelicans.
Afro Jrue is a completely different player.
It's really amazing.
Melli has also settled into his NBA career nicely.
DUKE BOY ON FIRE
Reactions from Twitter-verse:
Pels

What is happening!?
— Andrew Lopez (@_Andrew_Lopez) February 12, 2020
This is a freaking onslaught.
— Scott Kushner (@ScottDKushner) February 12, 2020
This is a 41-20 quarter.
Monstrosity.
Joel: ''I'm not going to say that that's the same referee that overturned the other one.''
AD: ''But you just did say it!''
Joel: ''Yes, but I won't.''
WHAT A QUARTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEST QUARTER OF THE SEASON!
Jrue has 16 points and 10 assists on 58.3% shooting. He also has 2 steals and 3 blocks. Back to back 10 assist games. 2 turnovers, 1 foul; +17
Whiteside: I GOT ALL ARM ON THAT BLOCK! NOT A FOUL!
Definitely. He's better than I thought he'd be coming off of major surgery in his rookie season, he's already owning grown ****** men like they're nothing. Grabbing rebounds from 7 footers, bumping them off like they're nothing, beating good defenders off the dribble for a slam etc.
He's a godsend.
Redick... come ooooon :hihi:
Yet another garbage call that hurts us.
Zion to the line again! 2/2 hits. He has 28.
Zion is so much fun to watch man, I love it
So far, Pels getting no help from OKC thru 3.
Refs don't like this beating the Blazers are getting.
Some of these fans are an embarrassment. LOL
Whiteside has 17 points and 14 rebounds, but he's going to walk out of this game feeling like he's been buried by Zion.
That's dominance.
We finish the season like this, and New Orleans might become a preferred destination. I'd welcome AD back.
Zion is 10/12 on FTs tonight. That's 83.3%
He is now 23/31 over his last 3 games.
74.2%
That would have been a Sportscenter oop
Not a great pass from Frank, but Zion gets it and puts it in the hoop anyway.
Well done to Zion for his first 30 point game!
The Blazers look so defeated. Lol
They just want to get on the bus and get as far away from Zion as possible.
Yeah I wanna see Jahlil dominate Swanigan lol
Melli with the Geriatric finger roll.
Did he learn that one from the halftime Geezers? :hihi:
Zion Williamson has turned around his lifestyle at the free throw line about as drastically as humanly possible.
— Jeff Nowak (@Jeff_Nowak) February 12, 2020
- First 4 games: 6 for 16 (37%)
- Last 5 games: 34 for 46 (74%)
That’s monstrous.
This is what I mean.
If Zion is a 75% FT shooter at the NBA level (apparently they've tweaked his FT form a little) then it's all over.
LOL Moses Brown got lost
Damian Lillard in 2 games VS the Pelicans this year:
38 points, 12/37 shooting (32.4%), 0/14 from 3 (0.00%).
