Zion Williamson sees the New Orleans Pelicans on the same page after team meeting

The New Orleans Pelicans were able to win four of their last five games and their only loss is against the rising powerhouse team, the Minnesota Timberwolves. The team now owns a winning record of 8-7 and the team's star player Zion Williamson credits the team for agreeing on a common goal and system.

The initial frustrations of Williamson were felt by the team after the Pelicans lost to the Dallas Mavericks two weeks ago. The team adjusted well and their recent wins against Sacramento were a good sign as the team moved forward into the season:

"We weren't on the same page before," Zion said. "Now we're all on the same page. We had a team meeting. We talked about what we wanted to do as a unit. That's what we are going to live and die with. Since we are all on the same page, I think we have been gelling together a lot better."

In the 12 games that Zion Williamson played this season, he has been averaging 22.4 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.6 assists. So far, he has only missed three games.

The Pelicans will have two more road games against the Utah Jazz from Nov. 25 to 27 after this matchup with the Clippers. They return to the Smoothie King Center on Nov. 29 to get tested by the Philadelphia 76ers.
