Postgame: Jazz 108, Pelicans 100

Jazz (45-29), Pelicans (31-43)

SALT LAKE CITY – Utah’s three-point shooting proved too much for New Orleans in a Monday meeting, as the Jazz went a superb 15/27 from beyond the arc and handed the Pelicans a costly defeat in their fight to stay in the Western Conference playoff conversation. Despite a monster performance by Anthony Davis, New Orleans finished 1-2 on a critical three-game road trip, dropping to 4.5 games behind Portland and Denver. With the Trail Blazers and Nuggets playing each other Tuesday, that deficit will increase to 5.0 games regardless of which team wins, with only eight games remaining for the Pelicans.
