The Roundup—Jazz crush Pelicans in The Big Easy

The bench got them going, and then Utah's starters took care of the rest.

The Jazz outscored the Pelicans 74-51 in the middle two quarters en route to a 132-111 blowout victory in New Orleans Saturday night.

Ricky Rubio led all players with 28 points and 12 assists as Utah (3-2) won its second straight game.

"I wasn't finding my rhythm in the first few games," Rubio said. "But my teammates have confidence in me, and I talked to the coach and he has confidence in me. I just kept shooting."

Rudy Gobert notched his fifth straight double-double with 25 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks, while Donovan Mitchell added 22 points (on 7-for-10 shooting) and six assists in the win.
