Zion Williamson had another monster game for the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night as his 31 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists helped lead his team to a 144-113 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.
But he seemed to be the most impressed by two points scored by someone on the other team, and for good reason.
I’m talking about Ja Morant, who beat out Zion for the NBA Rookie of the Year award last season. Morant threw down a pretty awesome dunk in the fourth quarter and a masked up Zion sure liked it.
Check out the dunk and stick around for Zion’s reaction on the bench:
