Pelicans-Jazz Preview

By ALAN FERGUSON

Though Anthony Davis' status is unclear, the New Orleans Pelicans managed to beat their next opponent last week with their leading scorer sidelined for much of the game.

New Orleans hasn't won since that day as Anthony has been in and out of action, so it will try to end a three-game skid with another victory over the Utah Jazz on Friday night in Salt Lake City.

Davis was forced to leave in the second quarter Wednesday night in Denver because of back spasms, and the Pelicans (32-43) were blown out 137-107 in the opener to a three-game trip. The Nuggets shot a season-high 56.5 percent and were 15 of 27 from 3-point range.

"We set a high bar for how we can play, regardless of who's on the floor," coach Monty Williams said. "Since I've been here, we've never given up these type of numbers with our defense. That's the toughest part for me is allowing a team to score like that."

Williams' club will next face one of the NBA's lowest-scoring teams in Utah (23-52), averaging 94.3 points. The Jazz have produced 91.8 per contest during a 2-16 stretch that includes five consecutive defeats.

Utah suffered the third loss in that string last Friday in New Orleans, falling 102-95 despite Davis' early exit due to a left ankle injury. He sat out a loss at San Antonio the following day and returned to score 22 in a loss to Sacramento on Monday only to leave early Wednesday. The Pelicans have lost their last five games when he hasn't played.

"We've been battling that kind of stuff all year so we're kind of, I don't want to say used to it, but we kind of are," guard Brian Roberts said of Davis' injury issues.

They overcame Davis playing just 3:43 against the Jazz as Tyreke Evans had 22 points and a career-high 15 assists while Anthony Morrow contributed 20 points.

The Pelicans, losers in 11 of 14 on the road, will next face a team that's dropped six of seven at home. Utah hasn't played since an 92-83 home loss to New York on Monday.

The Jazz shot 38.8 percent and went 7 1/2 minutes in the second half without a basket.

"We hit that little lull where we just can't score and that is the difference in the game," coach Tyrone Corbin said. "It happened again tonight, and we just have to keep fighting and get better."

Utah has lost the last two matchups with New Orleans but has won four consecutive home games in the series and 12 of the last 14.

Davis had 29 points and 15 rebounds in a 111-105 loss in Salt Lake City on Nov. 13.

Gordon Hayward had 27 points that night and is averaging 21.0 in the last five games, but the Jazz have lost them all while shooting 30.3 percent from 3-point range.

Jazz slip past Pelicans for 100-96 victory

Posted Apr 05 2014 1:10AM

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Gordon Hayward knows the Utah Jazz have their best chance to win when they play together and share the ball.

Victories haven't come easy for the Jazz during this rebuilding season.

"We realize we're not there yet individually, where we can just play for ourselves and still win. We need to play as a team," Hayward said.

Alec Burks and Hayward each scored 21 points and the Jazz held off the New Orleans Pelicans 100-96 on Friday night to snap a five-game skid.

The Jazz had 22 assists on their 33 baskets and several other unselfish passes led to 35 attempts from the free throw line.

Burks had 12 of his points in the fourth quarter and Hayward added eight final-period points. The Jazz needed all of it to overcome the reeling Pelicans, who played without Anthony Davis down the stretch due to back spasms.

"Alec attacks the rim and he's got to be one of the best in the league at driving to the basket," Hayward said. "He finishes so well that he scores or gets fouls almost every time."

Two exceptions occurred in the waning moments - swarming Pelicans forced Burks to travel and then Greg Stiemsma blocked Burks' layup. Anthony Morrow, who had a game-high 26 points, hit a 3-pointer to draw New Orleans within 95-93.

Hayward made one of two free throws and the Pelicans drew a play that produced a wide-open shot for Darius Miller that rimmed out.

"That's exactly what we wanted. We had Tyreke (Evans) with the ball looking to find a shooter and he found Darius. It was the best look we could ask for, and it just didn't go in," Brian Roberts said.

Roberts made another 3 with 1.7 seconds remaining, but Hayward and Burks each made two more free throws to clinch the victory for the Jazz. Burks made all 13 of his free throw attempts.

Derrick Favors had 20 points and nine rebounds for the Jazz. He thrived without Davis playing at full strength.

"There was more room in the post," Favors said. "We had people move around instead of standing still, so it was a big help."

Roberts had 18 points while Davis finished with eight points and six rebounds in 23 minutes as the Pelicans dropped their fourth straight following a five-game win streak.

The game was tight throughout, but the Jazz extended their lead to double digits near the end of the third when Hayward hit a 3 and followed with another jumper to make it 73-63.

But the Pelicans responded despite playing an unusual lineup that was sitting at the end of the bench earlier this season before the team was decimated with injuries. Eric Gordon, Ryan Anderson, Jrue Holiday and Jason Smith - a group that averages nearly 60 points a game combined - all are sidelined.

New Orleans turned to Morrow, who trimmed the Jazz advantage to 82-79 on a jumper in the lane with 7:16 to play. Morrow also had a dozen points in the fourth quarter on 5-for-5 shooting to give the Pelicans a chance. The guard has scored at least 17 points in five of his past six games.

The Jazz again built the lead to 10 points when Hayward made a pair of free throws. The Pelicans then made their last-gasp comeback that fell just short.

On one play in the third quarter, Davis blocked Favors' shot and then saved the ball from going out of bounds. But as the two big men pursued the ball, Davis was sandwiched between Favors and the fans courtside. Davis gingerly ran back on offense and soon after left the court to be evaluated.

The training staff confirmed Davis had back spasms but he returned to play in the fourth quarter, but wasn't on the court when the Pelicans made their final push.

"He wanted to play and I just said no. We're not in the playoffs. Every game for me is a championship game, but I've got to be smart," Pelicans coach Monty Williams said.

Davis played only 11 minutes against the Nuggets and his absence was felt as the Pelicans allowed season highs in points (137) and field goal shooting (56.5).

After three days' rest at home, the Jazz also took advantage with 51.6 percent shooting.

"We talked about being able to finish games and we still have the energy to compete. It's been a long year for these guys and we've been through a lot," Utah coach Ty Corbin said.

Notes: Stiemsma got a technical foul for arguing with the officials midway through the third period. ... The Pelicans have lost 12 of 15 on the road. ... After a long slump, Hayward is averaging 21 points a game in his past six.

Notebook: Jazz 100, Pelicans 96

THE FACT: The Jazz snapped a five-game losing streak with their win over New Orleans.

THE LEAD: The Utah Jazz pulled ahead with a strong third quarter then held on down the stretch to top the New Orleans Pelicans 100-96 Friday night at EnergySolutions Arena.

Gordon Hayward and Alec Burks led the Jazz (24-52) with 21 points each, while Derrick Favors finished with 20 points, nine rebounds and four blocks in the win. Favors scored 10 points during a 13-2 Jazz run that swung the momentum Utah's way midway through the third quarter.

Anthony Davis was in the starting lineup for New Orleans (32-44) but played only 24 minutes -- and missed the entire third quarter -- due to back spasms. He finished with an ineffective eight points, six rebounds and two blocks. Anthony Morrow scored a team-high 26 points for New Orleans, which has now lost four straight games.

QUOTABLE: "We just wanted to come out with energy, myself included. I played like crap in the first half. I owed it to my teammates to come out and play with effort and play as a team and get this win."
-- Derrick Favors

THE STAT: The Jazz went to the free-throw line often and converted an efficient 30-for-35 (85.7 percent) as a team. Burks went 13-for-13 from the line, while Hayward went 11-for-13. Both players sank a pair of freebies late in the fourth quarter to seal the game. New Orleans went 20-for-29 (69.0 percent) from the free-throw line.

TURNING POINT: The Jazz led for the game's final 20 minutes, though the Pelicans fought back to pull within two with 17 seconds left thanks to a clutch 3-pointer by Morrow. New Orleans' Darius Miller then had a wide-open look from the corner that would have tied the game with eight seconds left, but he missed. Burks and Hayward proceeded to sink four straight free throws to ice the game for the Jazz.

HOT: Morrow's hot shooting consistently kept New Orleans in the game down the stretch. The veteran sharpshooter went 9-for-11 from the field (including 3-for-3 on 3-pointers) and 5-for-6 from the free-throw line to finish with a game-high 26 points.

NOT: Tyreke Evans, who had one of his best games of the season against the Jazz last week (when he logged 22 points, 15 assists and three steals), had a forgettable outing tonight. Evans finished with nearly as many turnovers (seven) as he did points (eight) and went only 3-for-11 from the field, including two long-range airballs that resulted in shot clock violations.

QUOTABLE II: "The way [Alec] can attack the basket and get 13 free throws off the bench for us is huge. We need him to continue to attack the basket for us."
-- Utah coach Tyrone Corbin

NOTABLE: Burks tied his career high with 13 free throws made. ... Burks also increased his team-high streak of double-digit scoring games to 23. ... Eric Gordon (knee) missed his eighth straight game for New Orleans. ... Enes Kanter started for Utah and finished with 11 points and seven rebounds in 25 minutes. ... The two teams split the season series 2-2. ... Greg Stiemsma filled the stat sheet with 10 points, six rebounds, three steals and two blocks (and one technical foul) for New Orleans.

UP NEXT: For the Pelicans, Sunday at Portland, Wednesday vs. Phoenix, Friday at Oklahoma City. For the Jazz, Sunday at Golden State, Tuesday vs. Dallas, Friday vs. Portland.
