PROOF: Pelicans Shock Rockets with Grit—Herb Jones and Saddiq Bey DELIVER | Zion Williamson Benched!

Описание: New Orleans Pelicans shock the Houston Rockets with a dramatic 25-point comeback, sparking questions about Zion Williamson’s future role on the team. Is this proof the Pelicans have finally turned the page? Jake Madison unpacks how grit, resilience, and sharp coaching led New Orleans to a thrilling 133-128 overtime win against a legitimate title contender.

Key storylines include Herb Jones locking down Kevin Durant and igniting the Pelicans' defense, Saddiq Bey’s emergence as the unexpected closer, and James Borrego’s bold decision to bench Zion in crunch time. The discussion weighs the shifting team culture, the impact of key role players like Trey Murphy and Derik Queen, and what Borrego’s fresh approach means for the franchise’s direction. Can the Pelicans ride this new energy to a playoff push—or has a new era begun in New Orleans basketball?
