Despite it possibly being too late, the New Orleans Pelicans are finally finding their stride, securing victory in four out of their last five games.
Driving that is improved play from Zion Williamson, who recorded the first triple-double of his career Thursday night in a win against struggling Phoenix — 27 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds.

It was a good win for New Orleans, which also got 19 points from CJ McCollum.
Phoenix continues to spiral. Despite Devin Booker leading all scorers with 36 and Kevin Durant adding 28, the Suns have now dropped 7-of-8. For a team trying to push into the play-in, losing to the team with the fourth-worst record in the league is bad form. But there's been a lot of bad form and bad vibes out of Phoenlatelyate.
