By now, we all know that a Zion Williamson dunk is an inevitable occurrence in every New Orleans Pelicans game. The Portland Trail Blazers are well aware of this fact ahead of their matchup at Moda Center on Thursday. But they still had no answer for what was coming.
Around the nine-minute mark of the third period, Williamson was just camping at the top of the key before making a fantastic read to cut to the shaded lane. Brandon Ingram rewarded the All-Star forward's hustle and located him with a pin-point pass. The rest, as we now know of, is another entry to the Zion Williamson Dunks Collection.
Williamson took just one dribble and punctured in an unbothered two-handed flush that left the backboard shaking. The Trail Blazers defenders did not even bother jumping once the 6-foot-7 supreme athlete got on his launching pad (via New Orleans Pelicans).

Prior to Thursday's against Rip City, Williamson has been tallying 25.6 points per game on an insane 62 percent shooting from the field, along with 6.9 rebounds and 3.5 assists.
It's always a wise business decision to simply get out of the way when Zion Williamson gets a full head of steam. Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts, however, is probably not too enthused with his players' unwillingness to challenge the Pelicans sophomore.
