Jazz beat Heat in OT 116-114
PAUL Millsap scored a career-high 46 points, including the basket that forced overtime, as the Utah Jazz edged host Miami 116-114 in the NBA yesterday - handing the star-studded Heat their first home loss of the season.
Utah erased a 22-point deficit, plus overcame a 39-point night from Dwyane Wade and LeBron James' 29th career triple-double: 20 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds.
The Heat missed five shots in the final two minutes of overtime that either would have tied the game or given them the lead, including Eddie House's desperation jumper at the buzzer.
Two free throws by Utah's Francisco Elson with 0.4 seconds left gave the Jazz an impressive win.
Deron Williams had 21 points and 14 assists for the Jazz before fouling out late in regulation.
Millsap's 46 were by far the most by any player to face Miami this season - and a big turnaround for a player who previously averaged just 6.9 points in eight games against Miami.
