The New Orleans Pelicans fell 121-100 to the Utah Jazz because they simply couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn.
“I thought our energy and effort just needed to be better and that leads to missed shots,” Willie Green said. “We didn’t have our best game tonight.”
Almost five minutes into the fourth quarter, the Pelicans had barely made a third of their field goals, 9.1 percent of their 3s and hovered nearly 60 percent from the free throw line.
