Devonte’ Graham led six players in double figures with 14 points, but it was far from enough as the New Orleans Pelicans lost to Utah Jazz, 127-96 on Monday night.
New Orleans trailed by as many as 38 points in the second half.
The Pelicans finished the preseason schedule with a 1-3 record. Zion Williamson sat out all four games, while Brandon Ingram and Jaxson Hayes missed each of the final three contests.
Still, even without two key starters, the Pelicans did not play with much cohesion or tenacity on either end of the floor.
