MIAMI — No one in the NBA plays more close games than the Miami Heat and no one other than the Heat plays more close games than the Utah Jazz, so of course their showdown Monday in Miami came down to the final possessions.
A back-and-forth fourth quarter left the Heat up by a point in the final minute and Bam Adebayo denied Ochai Agbaji on a drive in the last 10 seconds to pull out a 119-115 win for Miami.
After a strong start by guard Gabe Vincent let it build an early lead, the Heat ultimately had to lean on Adebayo and Jimmy Butler, its two stars, to rally in the second half.
