The Minnesota Timberwolves were back in action on Wednesday night as they hosted (again, finally!) Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans for the fourth and final game of the two teams’ season series.
Williamson wasted no time getting himself involved, drawing a trio of fouls in the opening minutes, and scoring seven points in the first six minutes of action. But none of the fouls were against Anthony Edwards, who guarded Zion to open the action. New Orleans did their best to utilize pick-and-roll to force switches on the perimeter, especially with Zion, given how tough it is for defenders to get around Jonas Valanu010diu016bnas screens.
