LeBron James had the perfect response to a huge dunk by Zion Williamson

Zion Williamson and LeBron James are facing off for the second time in five days, as the New Orleans Pelicans are hosting the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night in what very well could be a first-round playoff matchup.

And this game has already been a ton of fun, even though the Lakers are missing former Pelican Anthony Davis, who is sitting out to rest a minor injury.

Zion, who had 17 points in the first half, threw down a big dunk in the final minute that electrified the home crowd in New Orleans.
