Williamson’s 31 points pushes Pelicans past Blazers
By BRETT MARTEL
Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS —
Zion Williamson scored a
season-high 31 points, and
the New Orleans Pelicans
used a dominant second half
to defeat the Portland Trail
Blazers 138-117 on Tuesday
night.
Playing 28 minutes in just
his ninth NBA game, Wil-
liamson used his 6-foot-6,
285-pound frame, quick feet
and explosive vertical to have
his way with every defender
Portland tried against him.
Williamson was either too
strong, too fast, or both. He
mixed spinning dribbles and
sudden baseline drives into
his usual arsenal of soaring
transition dunks and tena-
cious putbacks.
JJ Redick scored 20 and
Josh Hart had 17 points for
New Orleans, which trailed
by as many as 16 in the fi rst
quarter before taking com-
mand en route to a third
straight victory. Jrue Hol-
iday contributed 16 points
and 10 assists, while Lonzo
Ball added 10 points and 10
assists.

lard scored 20 points — less
than half of his 42-point
average over his previous 10
games. But his playing time
was limited in the fourth
quarter when the Pelicans,
who led by as many as 26,
had put the game out of reach.
CJ McCollum had 18
points for the Trail Blazers,
and Carmelo Anthony also
fi nished with 18, but just
four after halftime. Hassan
Whiteside had 17 points and
14 rebounds.
After Williamson’s early
dunk and free throws helped
New Orleans surge to a 12-7
lead, Portland suddenly
turned the tide with a 24-3
run that began with a pair
of turnaround jumpers by
Anthony, who later added a
cutting dunk. McCollum hit
a pair of 3s, Whiteside scored
on a fl oater and a hook shot,
and Lillard added a driving
layup while being fouled.
That stretch put the Pel-
icans in a 31-15 hole, out of
which they gradually climbed
for the duration of the half.
Williamson, who scored

17 in the fi rst half, helped
fuel the comeback, throw-
ing down Holiday’s alley-
oop lob with two hands to
cut Portland’s lead to 60-54.
Hart and Jackson each hit
3s late in the period, Holi-
day added a slashing transi-
tion layup through a crowd
of converging defenders and
Williamson’s free throw cut
Portland’s lead to 65-63 at
halftime.
New Orleans then pushed
in front in the third, when
Hart scored 12 points on
shots ranging from a pull-up
in the lane, to a breakaway
dunk after his steal, to a left-
wing 3.
New Orleans scored 41
points in the period alone,
leading by as many as 21
when Redick hit his sec-
ond 3 of the quarter to make
it 104-83.
Trail Blazers: Wenyen
Gabriel had 12 points in 13:36
off the bench. ... Fell to 10-19

assessed a technical foul in
the second quarter for argu-
ing with offi cials after he had
been called for a foul on Wil-
liamson’s inside shot. Antho-
ny’s face and Williamson’s
arm appeared to make con-
tact on the play. ... Lillard was
assessed a technical foul for
comments to offi cials at the
end of the fi rst half.
Pelicans: All-Star wing
player and leading scorer
Brandon Ingram missed his
second straight game and
