Dismantled, destroyed, ravaged, smashed, crushed, ended. Whichever is your favorite verb it would describe what the New Orleans Pelicans did to the Utah Jazz in their 124-109 win.
Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum had their way with Utah scoring a combined 53 points in what looked like their easiest win of the season. McCollum scored 24 on 10/18 shooting with 4 assists and 5 rebounds. Ingram was 11/16 from the field and poured in 29 with 8 rebounds and 6 assists. It’s hard to say whether it was dominance by the Pelicans' new-look duo or futility with the Jazz’s perimeter defense, probably a mix of both.
