After a forgettable first month of the 2021-22 regular season, maybe things are finally beginning to turn in New Orleans’ favor. On Friday, only a few hours after announcing positive news about Zion Williamson’s progress, the Pelicans pulled off one of the bigger upsets of the NBA campaign, outlasting Utah in the fourth quarter on the Jazz’s home floor.
Devonte’ Graham provided the late-game heroics, draining a deep three-pointer from the right wing with 1.3 seconds left, turning a two-point deficit into a one-point victory.
IT WAS OVER WHEN…
Utah’s Rudy Gobert was whistled for an offensive foul on an inbound pass, giving the ball back to New Orleans.
