The win marked the Pelicans' fourth consecutive victory and fifth in six games, improving to 12-32 despite missing Zion Williamson and Yves Missi due to illness.

Dejounte Murray chipped in 26 points and 11 boards, while Trey Murphy III contributed 24 points.
Utah dominated early, outscoring New Orleans 38-19 in the first quarter and leading by as many as 22.
However, the Pelicans caught fire after halftime, shooting 50% from the field and nailing nine triples.
Keyonte George led the Jazz with 23 points, and Isaiah Collier added 26 points and 11 rebounds.
Utah, now 10-31, visits Oklahoma City next, while New Orleans hosts Milwaukee.
