\n The Pelicans loosened the reins on Zion Williamson and the result was predictable: A victory and a happ<\/a>y rookie.<\/p>\n

After being limited to a combined 29 minutes in two losses to begin the NBA\u2019s restart in Orlando, the dynamic first-year forward was able to finish New Orleans\u2019 victory Monday night, and he thrived, producing 23 points, seven rebounds and five assists in a 109-99 win over the Grizzlies.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt alive again,\u201d Williamson told ESPN. \u201cMy competitive spirit was there, and I\u2019m glad coach (Alvin Gentry) and the whole team trusted me to finish the game<\/a> out.\u201d<\/p>\n

After leaving the bubble to deal with a family emergency on July 16 and not returning until the 24th, Williamson was placed on a \u201cburst restriction,\u201d and forced to watch from the bench in key moments of the Pelicans first two games, losses to the Jazz and Clippers. But in a must-win game, he saw more action as the Pelicans moved to within two games of the Grizzlies, who have the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cI ain\u2019t gonna lie to you, it\u2019s just different in a bad way when I\u2019m on the bench in the fourth quarter, and there\u2019s nothing I can do to help my team win,\u201d Williamson said. \u201cSo I said I felt alive \u2014 it was just great to be out there doing whatever I can to help my team win. And as for the energy part, me and my teammates can just feed off each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williamson, who also missed the season\u2019s first 44 games due to arthroscopic right-knee surgery, equaled a career-high with those five assists. The No. 1 pick also attempted a career-high 21 field goal attempts. He was aggressive early and often.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a little bit of both from myself and the coaching staff,\u201d Williamson said. \u201cThey were telling me to try to give the team a spark and that\u2019s what I was trying to do, give my team a spark, get \u2019em going.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
