Led by Paul Millsap's career-high 46 points, including three critical 3-pointers late in the fourth quarter (the second, third and fourth of his career) and a game-tying layup at the end of regulation, Utah seized control in overtime thanks in part to excellent ball movement and solid team defense.
After going down by three points, Miami's Dwyane Wade (39 points) hit a corner three to tie the game, only to have Francisco Elson draw a foul on a last-gasp layup attempt with 0.4 seconds remaining in overtime. Elson made both -- the second accidentally -- while Eddie House's attempt to tie at the buzzer missed.
Millsap shot 19 of 28 from the floor and collected nine rebounds. His 46 points are the most any Jazz player has ever scored against the Heat. Utah scored 42 points in the third, outscoring Miami by 13 in the quarter. At one point, Miami led by 22 points.
