Whipped quickly and often out of the gates, the New Orleans Pelicans made a good charge in the 2nd half, but unfortunately they failed to come all the way back from a 20-point halftime hole to lose 128-120 to the Utah Jazz.
Honestly, it felt the high point of the night’s matchup for the majority of the contest probably came about 15 minutes before tip-off when we learned Rudy Gobert would miss the game due to a sprained right ankle.
The Jazz raced out to a 14-0 lead. They made everything they looked at, hitting their first four three-pointers.
