Walker Kessler had 14 points and 16 rebounds while Jazz starters Collin Sexton (17 points) Lauri Markkanen (15) and Keyonte George (11) all finished in double figures.
Nikola Jovic scored 17 points and Duncan Robinson finished with 16 for the Heat, who played without suspended star forward Jimmy Butler.

The Jazz outscored Miami 40-19 in the second quarter for a 62-41 lead at halftime. George’s 3-pointer early in the fourth gave the Jazz their biggest lead at 112-69.
It was the sixth largest home loss in Heat history and worst since a 144-97 loss to Milwaukee on Dec. 29, 2020.
The Heat closed a three-game homestand with consecutive double-figure losses against clubs with sub-.500 records at the time. Indiana beat Miami 128-115 on Thursday night.
Heat: The second quarter deficit ballooned as Miami shot 1 for 12 on 3-point attempts. The Heat shot 3 of 22 from beyond the arc in the first half.
