SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Bam Adebayo scored 26 points and grabbed 15 rebounds Saturday night to lead the Miami Heat to a 147-116 victory over the Utah Jazz.
Nikola Jovic added 23 points and Pelle Larsson had 20, as the Heat tied their most points in a game this season. Miami beat Denver 147-123 last month.
The Heat, who have a 2-2 record on their five-game West Coast trip, narrowly ended their streak of nine consecutive games allowing 117 points or more.
Jusuf Nurkic scored 17 points, dished out 12 assists and grabbed ten rebounds to become the first player in Jazz history to record three consecutive triple-doubles. Before this streak, he had only had one triple-double in his career, with his last coming on January 16, 2019, while playing for Portland.
Brice Sensabaugh scored 23 points for the Jazz, who have lost six of their last seven games. Keyonte George finished with 19 points.
Miami made 19 3-pointers compared to the Jazz’s seven and outrebounded Utah 64-34.
