Miami pulls away in the third quarter

Miami led 29-25 after the first quarter and 64-54 at halftime. Andrew Wiggins hit a 27-foot three-pointer late in the first quarter that put the Heat ahead for good, SportsFBI reported. The third quarter settled the game for a while. Miami outscored Utah 28-18 in the period, pushed its largest lead to 23 points at 89-66 with 2:38 left in the third, and led 92-72 going into the fourth.

Davion Mitchell ran the Miami offense and finished with 19 points, eight assists and five rebounds. Pelle Larsson scored 14 points, Wiggins scored 13, and Bam Adebayo and Klay Thompson scored 11 points each. Adebayo added eight rebounds, four assists, four steals and two blocks.

The rally still fell short. Utah played without guard Keyonte George, who was out with a right ankle sprain, and forward Lauri Markkanen was listed as questionable with a right wrist sprain before the game, Athlon Sports reported. The Jazz have now lost ten of their first eleven games.
