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. CJ McCollum added 25 points and eight assists, Zion Williamson had 24 points and nine assists and Trey Murphy III scored 20 points to help the Pelicans win their fifth straight over the Jazz.

Oscar Tshiebwe nearly disrupted the Jazz's tanking strategy with career-best performances. Tshiebwe scored 16 points and grabbed 13 rebounds in 20 minutes against the Pelicans. Despite his efforts, Utah lost 128-121, maintaining their position in the tank race.

As the 97th Academy Awards were underway on Sunday night, with Oscars being doled out to the the biggest celebrities in Hollywood, there was another Oscar in Salt Lake City that was shining. Oscar Tshiebwe — a Utah Jazz player on a two-way contract who has made his name in the G League as an other-worldly rebounder and one of the most cheerful and delightful people to be around — had the best game of his young career on Sunday against the New Orleans Pelicans.

Kelly Olynyk netted a season-high 26 points, one of four New Orleans players who scored at least 20 points as the Pelicans earned a 127-121 victory over the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City on Sunday night.
