Zion comes up clutch as Pelicans hold off Spurs in NBA

A last-gasp basket from Zion Williamson has allowed the New Orleans Pelicans to survive a scare from lowly San Antonio and run out 114-113 winners on the road.

The Spurs, running last in the NBA's Western Conference, led by as many as 12 points on Saturday (AEDT) as top draft pick Victor Wembanyama (16 points, 14 rebounds) registered his fifth double-double in six games.
