The New Orleans Pelicans are gratified by a franchise-record comeback victory that shows they're not giving in to the misfortune that defined the first two months of their season.

The Pelicans came back down 25 points and defeated the Jazz, and it was CJ McCollum who made franchise history during the win.

CJ McCollum scored six of his 45 points in overtime and the host New Orleans Pelicans set a franchise record by overcoming a 25-point deficit in defeating the Utah Jazz 123-119 on Monday night.

CJ McCollum scored six of his 45 points in overtime and the New Orleans Pelicans orchestrated the largest comeback in franchise history, overcoming a 25-point deficit to beat Utah Jazz 123-119 on Monday night.

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.

The Pelicans pulled out a win (or was it the Jazz who pulled out a loss?) for their biggest ever comeback. On the Jazz's defense on CJ McCollum, Taylor Hendricks traveling with the team, and Will Hardy's relationship with Washington football coach Dan Quinn.
