The Roundup—Jazz escape Big Easy with sixth straight win
In a game that featured 11 ties and 18 lead changes, the Utah Jazz came away with a thrilling 128-126 victory over the Pelicans in New Orleans Monday night.
A pull-up jumper by Donovan Mitchell gave Utah a two-point lead with just over a minute left, and then Rudy Gobert sealed the win when he challenged a missed layup attempt by New Orleans' Brandon Ingram just before time expired.
"It happened pretty quickly, but from what I saw I thought he blocked it. That's what [the referees] get paid to do," Utah's Joe Ingles said. "They called the game, and I'm happy we got a win at the end of a tough trip."
