Jazz run the tank perfectly and lose a close matchup to the struggling Miami Heat. The Jazz drop to 9-27 while the Heat improve to 19-17. Jazz led after the 1st and 3rd quarter but ultimately couldn’t execute down the stretch. Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, and Walker Kessler did everything they could to win this game but came up short as Tyler Herro and Jaime Jaquez took over late.
