After the Heat won their first matchup, the Utah Jazz will look to even things up against Miami today in Salt Lake City.
Other than a late push that fell short, the Utah Jazz looked physically outmatched against the Miami Heat in their first matchup. Rudy Gobert had one of his worst performances (8 points, 8 rebounds -20 +/-) as the Heat’s physicality mostly neutralized him. But Gobert wasn’t the only one who was overpowered physically. Miami had their way with the Jazz, especially Kyle Lowry and Tyler Herro. Lowry put up a monster triple-double and Herro dropped 29 while shooting 6/8 from three.
