Utah Jazz at Miami Heat

Wade's late free throws lift Heat past Jazz, 102-100

Wade happily provided a ton of answers.

He might have kept a secret or two for himself.

"I don't talk to anybody on the phone for two hours anymore," Wade said. "But he wanted to pick my brain. He had a lot of great questions and we just talked about the game."

Wade gave Mitchell a couple more lessons on Sunday, in a game where the Heat rallied from an early 19-point deficit and survived 17 lead changes and 16 ties. Hassan Whiteside scored 23 points and grabbed 20 rebounds for Miami, which got 16 apiece from Josh Richardson and Kelly Olynyk and 15 from Wade.

"It's like putting on an old glove," Spoelstra said. "We've been in that situation so many times before. It was very natural for him to read everything."

Gobert didn't like the call.

"I just want it to be consistent at one point," Gobert said. "Every night is the same (stuff)."

Ricky Rubio led Utah with 23 points. Jae Crowder scored 19 and Mitchell had 18 for the Jazz, on 8 for 24 shooting. Afterward, he said going head-to-head with Wade was special.

"That was surreal, to be honest," Mitchell said.

Utah's lead was 55-53 at the half, a score that would suggest the first 24 minutes were nip-and-tuck for both sides.

Not exactly.

And then Utah suddenly went ice-cold. Miami went on a 20-0 run, forcing Utah into 14 consecutive missed shots, to turn the 19-point deficit into a one-point lead.

"We'll clean it up. It's little things," Utah coach Quin Snyder said. "Overall, I'm happy with how we competed, but obviously we wish we could do things better for a full game."
