Zion Williamson: Pelicans' Effort Early in Loss vs. Spurs Was 'Not Acceptable'
The New Orleans Pelicans are hanging on to the thinnest of playoff hopes after Sunday's 122-113 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, and Zion Williamson is not happy about it.
The rookie phenom had some strong words about the team's effort after the game.

The Pelicans are now just 2-4 in the Florida bubble and have fallen 1.5 games behind the Portland Trail Blazers in the race for the No. 9 seed in the Western Conference. That seed will have the chance to compete in a play-in series to reach the postseason.
If the Blazers beat the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday, however, the Pelicans will be eliminated from postseason consideration.
The Pelicans had an excellent chance to make the playoffs coming into the bubble. But after Sunday's effort, those dreams are all but gone.
