[Saba Sports News] Few can match up to New Orleans Pelicans’ Zion Williamson in size, and Houston Rockets’ Dillon Brooks found himself at a disadvantage during their game at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, La.
Despite Brooks’ reputation for guarding star players, Williamson’s dominance was evident in a play where he scored over Brooks with a baby hook shot, followed by a “too small” gesture, underscoring the mismatch.
The Rockets struggled to contain Williamson throughout the game, leading to a 127-105 victory for the Pelicans. Williamson, a 2-time All-Star, showcased his skills with 27 points and 9 assists, shooting 12/21. His performance included several highlight-worthy plays. Brooks, on the other hand, ended the game with 7 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists, shooting 2/6. The encounter likely left an impact on Brooks, reflecting the challenge of guarding Williamson.
