Heading into the game, the New Orleans Pelicans knew playing the Jazz the second game of a back to back would be a tall task. Having to do it without all world Anthony Davis would be darn near impossible. The Jazz hand the Pelicans their first loss of the season, defeating them by a score of 132-111.
Key stat of the game…
32. The Jazz took a page out of the Pelicans playbook with the way they distributed the basketball. Ricky Rubio lead the Jazz with 12 assists as the Pelicans had absolutely no answer for the Jazz in the halfcourt pick and roll set.
