McCollum scores a season high 33 points as New Orleans Pelicans down Utah Jazz 153-124

Associated Press  

NEW ORLEANS — CJ McCollum went 9 of 13 from 3-point range and tied his season high with 33 points, Zion Williamson had 17 points and a career-high 11 assists as the New Orleans Pelicans set a franchise record for points with a 153-124 victory over the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night. “The reality of tonight’s game, the reality of the last three games … is we just aren’t playing hard enough,” said Utah coach Will Hardy. To give up 35 points in transition on a night when you only have eight turnovers is not very good.” Utah had a chance to cut the deficit to six points midway through the third quarter, but Jones blocked a layup attempt by John Collins and had a steal on consecutive possessions, leading to easy layups to widen the New Orleans lead to 12. “Herb Jones made two incredible plays that changed the momentum of the game.” The Pelicans used a 43-29 second quarter to build a 77-59 halftime lead, their highest-scoring first half of the season.
