The Utah Jazz thrashed the New Orleans Pelicans 127-94 Wednesday night, showing fans what a focused defense and heady offense should do to a floundering opponent. The 33-point loss was the biggest margin in defeat this season and the most lopsided outcome to the Jazz this century.
Utah let Terrence Jones do what he wanted as he iso’d his way to 21 points and 8 rebounds. After a hot shooting start from him, Jrue Holiday and E’Twuan Moore, the Pelicans struggled from the field for most of the 2nd half and it was over near the conclusion of the third quarter.
