The Utah Jazz fell to the Miami Heat in a Friday night slugfest. The Jazz played admirably, however, the suddenly surging Heat played a gritty defensive game and super star Jimmy Butler imposed his will at the end leading the heat to a 124 - 116 victory.
Jimmy Butler nearly had a triple double and was dominant on the offensive end for the whole game. In the first quarter Butler did a good job of getting stretch big Bam Adebayo involved in the game which was key because if Bam is in a rhythm he can make life really difficult for Rudy Gobert.
