New Orleans appeared to have won Thursday, but then it didn’t. Roughly 20 minutes later, the Pelicans finally captured an overtime thriller.
Brandon Ingram sank what seemed the likely game-winning basket with two-tenths of a second left vs. Utah, but the Jazz somehow forced overtime when the Pelicans were whistled for a foul on an inbound pass. Rudy Gobert sank one of two free throws to create the extra period.
New Orleans overcame that unfortunate whistle in OT, outscoring Utah 16-10 to secure a narrow victory. Ten days earlier, the Pelicans lost in heartbreaking fashion to the Jazz, with Ingram and Gobert also figuring prominently in the final moments of regulation.
