Zion Williamson Scores Season-High 36 Points in Pelicans' Win Over Timberwolves

The victory comes amid criticism of Williamson's performance and fitness, as the Pelicans prepare to face the struggling Wizards.

Zion Williamson scored a season-high 36 points in the New Orleans Pelicans' 121-107 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, ending the Wolves' six-game winning streak.
Williamson's performance comes after criticism for his lackluster performance in the NBA in-season tournament semifinals and rumors about his fitness and diet.
The Pelicans have struggled on the road, losing four of their last five away games.
The Timberwolves played without leading scorer Anthony Edwards due to a right hip pointer.
The Pelicans are set to take on the Washington Wizards next, who have lost five in a row overall and 19 of 22 on the season.
