The New Orleans Pelicans has claimed dramatic 119-118 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves at an NBA clash.

Zion Williamson scored his team's final 14 points as part of a career-high 43-points which helped his team, New Orleans Pelicans to register their victory.

Anthony Edwards, who scored 27 for Minnesota, missed a baseline fade for the win as time expired on a game in which the Wolves led most of the way, and by as many as 11 points, before losing their fourth straight.

Williamson's 3-pointer with 2:17 left cut Minnesota's lead to 112-110. Later, Williamson tied it again at 114 on a driving finger roll. And after Jaden McDaniels' free throws put Minnesota ahead again with 1:04 left, Williamson hit an off-balance driving layup to tie it before stealing the ball from McDaniels and breaking free for a go-ahead dunk.

Edwards' dunk tied it at 118 before Williamson hit one of two free throws, which turned out to be enough.

Trey Murphy III scored 21, going 5 of 6 from 3, and CJ McCollum scored 20 for the Pelicans. Jonas Valanciunas had 12 points and 11 rebounds.

D'Angelo Russell had 27 points and McDaniels scored 19 for Minnesota.
