Pelicans vs. Jazz Pregame Report 12/28/2023

The Pelicans are back at the SKC tonight 7:00 against the Utah Jazz welcome into our Pelicans pregame report presented by ibata Amarin Summers this will be the second time that the Pelicans face the Jazz this season back in November the Pelicans lost both those matchups by a combined seven points since then the

Pelicans have gone 8 and5 however in their last three losses they have fallen by a combined Five Points closing out late games has been tough for the Pelicans and it’s why they focused on late game situation work and practice on Wednesday yeah we we need to respond um

More so for us not necessarily for the jazz or for Memphis or for Houston but you know when we play teams that are physically tough and they sort of climb into us and put their hands on us we struggle at the end of games so it’s

More for us to get to a point where we know these are our sets this is what we’ll execute and and as a team we we just have to cut down on the mistakes at the end of games tonight both squads will have players that didn’t take the

Court against each other in the first matchup the Pelicans with Trey Murphy and the Jazz with Lori marinan Trey has been averaging 15 and a half a game he has plus 10 leading the team for the Jazz Marin’s been averaging 25 oh Low’s a monster um I love his game

He’s uh he’s one of those guys that just uh scores at all three levels you know obviously 7 Foot you know ridiculous three-point shooter so he he adds a he adds a really you know really impressive layer to that team and and you know just

As him as you him as a player him as a leader so um you know they they had our number without them so you know tonight will be a challenge for us and I’m looking forward to uh to responding you know we we had some loss three tough

Losses in a row and we need to respond and um show our resiliency here Larry Nance will be available to play tonight for the first time since November 27th which was ironically the last time the pels faced the Jazz as he’s been recovering from that rib injury another
