CJ McCollum highlighted a 45-point performance with 3-pointers and reverse layups in the clutch. Dejounte Murray’s relentless pressure on both ends of the court left him one rebound short of a triple-double. And the New Orleans Pelicans pulled off the largest comeback in franchise history. As injury-ridden, star-crossed and generally miserable as much of their season has been, the Pelicans don’t seem inclined to give up. “Huge credit to our guys in the locker room pulling together,” Pelicans coach Willie Green said after his team erased a 25-point Utah lead and beat the Jazz 123-119 in overtime Monday night. “This was a hard game to win.”
