The Triple Team: Andy Larsen’s analysis of the Jazz’s Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell-fueled win over the Miami Heat

The Miami Heat scored just 84 points all night long, but even that overstates how successful they were on the offensive end thanks to a 31-point fourth quarter of garbage time. But before that, the Jazz were even better, allowing just 53 points through three quarters to this Heat team.

The biggest factor for the Jazz was just how dominant they were at the rim, thanks to Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors. On shots within three feet of the basket, the easiest shots in the game, the Heat shot just 9-24. Go out a little further, those shots elsewhere in the paint feet went in just 4-13 times.
