Pelicans (19-18), Jazz (15-22)
SALT LAKE CITY – For the second time in just over the span of a month, New Orleans enjoyed a fantastic shooting night in Utah. This time, the perimeter prowess resulted in a needed road victory. The Pelicans finished 14/30 from beyond the arc Wednesday – after going 15/30 in Vivint Smart Home Arena on Dec. 1 – keying a bounceback from weekend home losses to Dallas and New York. New Orleans also turned in an excellent defensive performance, limiting Utah to just 17 third-quarter points to turn a three-point halftime edge into a nine-point lead.
