Utah may not have a superstar with the name recognition of some of the Western Conference’s most hyped teams, but it possesses something that’s often just as valuable: a large stable of dangerous three-point shooters. New Orleans played credible defense for much of Monday’s matchup, but couldn’t slow down Utah’s perimeter threats enough to rally all the way back from a 15-point deficit. The Jazz finished 19/39 from three-point range, dominating a category in which the Pelicans shot just 12/46.
IT WAS OVER WHEN…
Utah’s Bojan Bogdanovic had plenty of time to fire and nailed a right corner three-pointer, putting the Jazz up 106-97 with two-plus minutes remaining.
