VIDEO: Zion Williamson Goes off vs Spurs and Scores 16 Straight 4th Quarter Points
By Michael Luciano
New Orleans Pelicans superstar rookie Zion Williamson has announced in the most emphatic of fashions that he has arrived in the NBA. Rather than by jaw-dropping dunk, Williamson showed off a deadly three pointer that has the San Antonio Spurs scrambling. Williamson out up 16 straight points in the fourth quarter after he managed just five all game coming into the final stanza.

Zion made all four of his three-point attempts. We know he can attack the rim, but if he starts stepping out and draining threes like that, it might as well be game over.

Williamson's white-hot fourth quarter sent New Orleans into a state of total euphoria, as MVP chants were already being rained down on the former Duke superstar.

Can you really blame them? What a performance.
One of the biggest spectacles we've seen in modern basketball has officially announced his arrival in New Orleans. If this game is anything to go by, he is here to stay for a long time.
