The Utah Jazz secured a valuable 115-111 victory over the Miami Heat on Monday night in Miami, thanks in large part to a clutch 3-pointer by Brice Sensabaugh in the final seconds. This fifth win in 23 games provides some hope for a franchise struggling this season.
A thrilling finish favoring the visitors
Down 108-103 with 3 minutes and 32 seconds remaining, the Jazz players showed tremendous mental strength to turn the situation around. Isaiah Collier first cut the deficit to one point (111-110) with a basket at 1 minute and 23 seconds remaining, before Brice Sensabaugh delivered the knockout blow with his 3-pointer at 47 seconds from the final buzzer.

The Heat had two opportunities to tie or retake the lead in the final moments. Andrew Wiggins missed a short shot with 36 seconds remaining, then Kasparas Jakucionis saw his 3-point attempt from the corner bounce off the rim with 4 seconds left on the clock. Sensabaugh definitively sealed the game’s outcome with two free throws at 3 seconds remaining.
Encouraging collective performances for Utah
Jaren Jackson Jr.. led the Jazz offense with 22 points, well supported by Lauri Markkanen (17 points) and Kyle Filipowski, who recorded a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Ace Bailey also contributed with 16 points, while Sensabaugh finished with 14 crucial points.
For Miami, Andrew Wiggins led the way with 26 points, with Bam Adebayo posting a 23-point, 11-rebound double-double. Kasparas Jakucionis chipped in 20 as part of a balanced effort. The difference came inside, where the Utah Jazz owned the paint (54–30), fueled in part by Jusuf Nurkic’s 10 points and 16 boards.
Jazz head coach Will Hardy rolled the dice by sitting key pieces Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George through the fourth. The bench carried it home, and the gamble paid off in a win that delivered a much-needed jolt of confidence.
