Williamson recorded 22 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds as the New Orleans Pelicans beat the Los Angeles Clippers 127-1🐎20, though they remain 14th in the Western Conference with an 18-48 record.
The power forward stood up to be counte𝔉d as the pressure intensified during the fin💖al quarter, with 10 points, five assists and five rebounds.
"Once I found that rhythm, I just kind of got in that zone. I'd come too far to l𒁃ose this game," said Williamson, who was also asked whether he was in the best shape of his career.
"I g𝔍uess I'm going to do what I've been doing my whole career," he an𝓀swered. "I'll let the media have fun with it."
Meanw𒈔hile, Pelicans coach Willie Green paid tribute to his star man after the win.
"When he makes his mind up thꦦat he's going to attack, there's really nothing teams can do," Green said. "He's been doing that lately, even in limited minutes.
"When he's in high-level conditioning, like he is, he's 𓂃really tough to guard, and he's doing it all. He's rebounding. He's defending. Huge blocks. Huge rebounds.
"He split a doub🧜le-team, went down the lane and finished with a monst𝓡er dunk. Those types of energy plays really get us going."
"He's differen🐈t," team-mate Bruce Brown concurred. "Once he tur🌠ns it on, once he comes in and wants to be aggressive, nobody can stop him. Even if they have a big sitting in the paint, there's really nothing you can do."
