Despite hurt wrist, Antetokounmpo scores 30 and Heat outlast Jazz

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 30 points, Davion Mitchell added 19 points, and the Miami Heat outlasted the depleted Utah Jazz 115-109 on Tuesday night. The Heat also got 14 from Pelle Larsson but needed late blocks from Klay Thompson and Bam Adebayo to secure their third win in their last four games. Antetokounmpo iced his sprained right wrist in a heavy wrap when he was on the bench but it didn’t seem to bother him on the court. He shot 12 for 21 and grabbed 11 rebounds. He now has 21,836 points and passed Gary Payton to become the 39th leading scorer in NBA history. Despite the Jazz’s ninth straight loss, Utah’s two teenagers gave the Jazz hope for the future. Rookie Darryn Peterson nearly set his career high (26) for the second game in a row with 25 points and Ace Bailey scored 23.
