SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Utah Jazz forward Kyle Korver was red hot from deep against the New Orleans Pelicans, racking up four made 3-pointers in the first half.
At the halftime break, the 39-year old Jazzman had already accounted for 15 points on 5-for-9 shooting with four triples, including a buzzer beater at the end of the first quarter.
He did roll his ankle in the second quarter, but got it taped up and was ruled available to return.
At halftime, the Jazz led 61-51.
With a four-game winning streak going into the matchup against New Orleans, Korver had been a major factor in his team’s success.
