MIAMI (CBSMiami/SportsDirect) – The Miami Heat are in the midst of a long homestand that has been going well so far.

The Utah Jazz watched their league-best defense take a hit in a 118-114 loss at Cleveland that started a four-game road trip on Tuesday.

The Jazz will try to lock down on that end again when they continue the trip at Miami on Thursday.

Utah (89.7) and Miami (90.1) entered Wednesday first and second in the NBA in points allowed, and the Jazz are hoping to quickly turn the page after allowing the Cavaliers to shoot 50 percent from the field.
