Jefferson scores 23, Hayward adds 22 to help Jazz stop Heat 104-97
• SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Al Jefferson scored 23 points, Gordon Hayward added 22 -- including a jumper with 40 seconds remaining -- and the Utah Jazz held on to beat the Miami Heat 104-97 on Monday night. • The Heat were down 21 points in the third quarter but fought back to pull within two behind a 32-point effort by LeBron James. However, James was called for goaltending and an offensive foul on back-to-back possessions late, then missed a 3-pointer with Miami down six with 2:19 left. • Hayward's fadeaway 14-footer gave Utah the cushion it needed. • The Jazz were shooting 67.6 percent at halftime but made only 4 of 19 in the fourth to let the Heat back into the game. • Utah held a 40-23 advantage on the boards, and 47-26 edge in bench scoring. •
