Another Giannis masterpiece helps Heat hold off Jazz, win 115-109

Despite a fourth quarter comeback attempt by the Utah Jazz, the Miami Heat ultimately secured the 115-109 win to conclude their road trip going 3-2.

The Heat improved to a 5-6 record overall, including winners of five of their last seven. Outside of the 37-23 fourth quarter edge for Utah— courtesy of an Isaiah Collier heat check— Miami’s defense continued to make some strides. Offensively, it was their superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo leading the way.

The Greek Freak dropped yet another dominant 30 points and 11 rebounds double-double on over 50% from the field. Miami outscored Utah by 11 points in Antetokounmpo’s minutes. His performance marks his eighth consecutive double-double outing.

Outside of the usual Giannis numbers, the entire Heat starting lineup scored in double figures and combined for 85 points. Davion Mitchell was spectacular again, as he helped supplement Antetokounmpo’s big night with an all-around 19 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists effort. Bam Adebayo had an off shooting night, going for just 11 points and 8 boards on 1 of 9 from the field— but his two-way presence was still on full display with four steals and two blocks on the night.

Pelle Larsson had his second straight start at small forward over Andrew Wiggins and impressed with 14 points, 7 rebounds and some terrific defense. In 19 bench minutes, Wiggins looked like he was working his way back into a rhythm, as the veteran wing added 13 points on 5 of 8 shooting to lead the second unit.

Miami shot just 39% from the field and 29% from 3-point range as a team, but still got the job done. Which shows that they leaned into their defense to earn the victory regardless of a non-efficient shooting night. It was encouraging to see that team defense take some steps forward over these last two wins.

Now the Heat will return home to the Kaseya Center in preparation for the first of a back-to-back set beginning with hosting the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.
