The Pelicans fell 113-104 to the Jazz, but it honestly felt as though the outcome might have been very different if only “average” had shown up in several key areas.
Brandon Ingram is a former All-Star in the midst of another fine campaign, averaging close to 23 points per game on solid efficiency. He finished this contest with just 10 points on 3 of 18 shooting.
Josh Hart, one of New Orleans’ leading scorers this season, was sitting on four shot attempts at the start of the fourth quarter.
The Pelicans are making three-pointers at a 34.
