HIGH POINT

  Jazz coach Jerry Sloan went with an eight-man rotation and it paid off. Six players scored in double figures, led by Bryon Russell (20), Karl Malone (19) and Jarron Collins (18). "I thought our intensity from everybody was better than it has been," Sloan said.

  LOW POINT

  The Jazz squandered their best chance to bury Miami late in the second quarter, after they built a 48-31 lead. Utah stopped rebounding, and the Heat scored nine second-chance points in the final 5:45. Miami trailed only 58-46 at halftime.
