One of the lone bright defensive spots of the night came from two-way player Oscar Tshiebwe, who was by far the Jazz’s best defender against Williamson and was clawing to help on every possession, despite his lack of time spent with the Jazz and his shortcomings when it comes to understanding everything the team does schematically.

Kelly Olynyk scored a season-high 26 points and had nine rebounds and the New Orleans Pelicans used a 15-0 fourth-quarter run to defeat the Utah Jazz.
