NEW ORLEANS – It’s not often an NBA team gets a do-over, but that’s exactly what the Utah Jazz will get Wednesday night when they take on the New Orleans Pelicans — again.
After blowing a 14-point lead over the final eight minutes Monday night thanks to some sloppy offense and iffy defense and allowing the Pelicans to fly past them for a 115-112 victory, the Jazz will get another shot at New Orleans Wednesday night at the Smoothie King Center (6 p.m. MT).
Before Monday’s disappointing defeat, the Jazz were coming off a terrific week when they beat three playoff teams, including the team with the second-best record in the Western Conference (Denver) and the team with the best record in the NBA (Milwaukee).
