The Pelicans, who had lost four straight coming in, gave the Knicks all they could handle with Zion Williamson scoring a season-high 32 points.

Saddiq Bey and Jordan Poole chipped in with 26 points apiece, while Trey Murphy III added 21.

This is a positive win that shows the strength and momentum that New York has as a contender for the title. For the Pelicans, this is indicative of their continued trouble with closing out their games.
