Twice in the last two games, the New Orleans Pelicans (30-37) turned double-digit deficits into victories by the time regulation came to a close. However, they could not make it thrice tonight as the Utah Jazz (37-27) exacted their revenge and came out on top with a 114-104 victory.
The game was gridlocked throughout most of the first half, with each team trading blows with run after run. A hot start from three-point land courtesy of Jae Crowder (11 points) and the immortal Kyle Korver (12 total points) anchored the early Jazz offensive, which was gifted many extra possessions by a sloppy Pelicans attack.
