The Triple Team: Jazz lose to Heat, but Miye Oni gets chance against NBA-level competition

LAS VEGAS — Three thoughts on the Utah Jazz’s 93-81 loss to the Miami Heat from Salt Lake Tribune beat writer Andy Larsen.

For the first time, the Jazz got the chance to play against a lottery pick in this summer league: No. 13 pick Tyler Herro. And against presumably NBA competition, the Jazz’s Miye Oni did relatively well in his own right.

Herro finished with 16 points on 7-18 FG, adding five assists and six rebounds. Oni had only 11 points, on 3-5 shooting, all threes, adding three assists and two rebounds.

At first, Herro had the clear advantage: nine of those points came in the first quarter, and he found himself getting some separation as Oni tried to get through screens.
