The Jazz took their first lead of the game at 94-91 with 10:13 left in the fourth quarter on a 3 by Conley. There were 12 lead changes. “He’s a matchup nightmare,” Kelly Olynyk said about Markkanen. “He’s shooting the ball unbelievably the whole season really … He’s tough to guard. You can’t take away one thing.”
The Heat on the other hand lost 124-119 against the Nuggets in their last game. Herro had 26 points and 10 rebounds for Miami. Bam Adebayo added 22 for the Heat, who began a five-game trip through the West.
Duncan Robinson connected on three long-range shots to become the franchise’s leader in 3-pointers with 807, one more than Tim Hardaway. “You want to do it in a win, so that’s disappointing,” Robinson said. “Just feel very fortunate to get it. … I’ll definitely take a second to appreciate it.”
