Utah Jazz take a loss and get a lesson from Jimmy Butler and the Heat

The Utah Jazz are no strangers to winning big.

In the history of the league, no team has had more double-digit victories through 32 games than this year’s Jazz squad.

Mike Conley and company, however, are still getting acquainted with crunch time this season.

The Jazz battled but fell short in Miami on Friday night, losing 124-116 to Jimmy Butler and the Heat.

“I thought tonight we really ran up on a team that really out-executed us down the stretch,” Conley said. “They made plays when it mattered most.”

The Jazz trailed by eight points when Heat guard Jimmy Butler hit a step-back jumper with 4:05 left in the fourth quarter.
