Zion Williamson had a crucial role in the New Orleans Pelicans win in the game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Pelicans’ rookie said he is feeling alive again in an on-court interview after the 109-99 victory.

“I feel alive again, man,” Williamson said. “My competitive spirit was there. And, you know, I’m glad coach and the whole team trusted me to finish the game out.”

Zion put up a “bubble-high” 23 points adding 7 rebounds and 5 assists. He played some vital minutes in the clutch time hitting some important shots to help his team win for the first time in the NBA restart.
