The New in New Orleans team
If you went to bed early Wednesday, you missed a good one. The Pelicans beat the Utah Jazz 120-113 in overtime at the Smoothie King Center, their fourth straight win after four straight losses to open the season. Utah's Keyonte George got off a pull-up jumper a fraction of a second after the buzzer, so the game stayed tied at 104-104.
