CJ McCollum shone brightly for the New Orleans Pelicans, scoring an impressive 45 points, including six crucial ones in overtime, to lead his team to a remarkable 123-119 victory over the Utah Jazz. This win marked the largest comeback in Pelicans' history, overcoming a formidable 25-point deficit. Despite missing key players Zion Williamson and Yves Missi due to non-COVID illnesses, the Pelicans showcased their resilience with a strong performance throughout the second half.

Ultimately, Murphy's decisive three-pointer solidified the Pelicans' victory as they continue their push for a playoff spot.
