The clash between the Utah Jazz and the New Orleans Pelicans was incredibly close and went into halftime, with both teams playing some excellent basketball and gathering a plethora of NBA highlights along the way.

However, in the third quarter, the Pelicans stagnated and let the Jazz jump out to a massive lead, something that proved to be fatal for them.

With the New Orleans Pelicans looking to push for the NBA Playoffs, they need to start gathering wins and momentum as soon as possible, or else obtaining the 8th seed will become unachievable for the franchise.
