The Pelicans walked into Vivint Arena in Utah Tuesday night looking for back-to-back wins for the first time in over two weeks. The Jazz had other plans though, and they stopped New Orleans in their tracks, handing them their sixth loss in the last seven games by a final score of 118-102.
If there were more fun elements to highlight in Tuesday’s loss from mediocre ones, it would be awesome to mention them. Unfortunately, a lot of the team’s most fatal flaws showed up once again. The Pelicans couldn’t limit the Jazz to one shot, defend well or drive them off the three-point line.
