The Utah Jazz move to (10-30) after a (123-136) loss to the (11-32) New Orleans Pelicans. A late scratch to Walker Kessler and the that void was noticeable.
Game Overview
1st Quarter
The First Quarter was underway and the Pelicans were just dominating Utah on both ends of the floor. CJ McCollum started 5-5 from three and put up a quick 15 points before missing his first shot of the game. The early scratch to Kessler meant that defending the paint was going to be a team effort and through the first quarter, Zion and Dejounte Murray were exposing that paint.
