SALT LAKE CITY – The New Orleans Pelicans stunned the Utah Jazz with a late three-pointer and picked up a win in Salt Lake City
The Jazz hosted the Pelicans at Vivint Arena on Friday, November 26.
New Orleans beat Utah, 98-97.
First Quarter
The Jazz offense got off to a hot start thanks to Bojan Bogdanovic who scored 12 of the team’s first 15 points.
The team’s ball movement carried over from the win over Oklahoma City, but the shots were falling at home at a better rate than they were on the road.
New Orleans was able to keep in the game however due to 4-7 shooting from the three-point line in the opening quarter.
Bogdanovic finished the quarter with 13 points on 5-5 shooting and led 28-23 after the first quarter.
