MIAMI, 10 February 2026 – The Miami Heat continued their dominance over the Utah Jazz yesterday, securing a critical home victory at the Kaseya Center. The matchup, which took place on Monday, 9 February, saw the Heat leverage their superior home record to further distance themselves in the Eastern Conference standings while the Jazz struggled to find footing following their recent roster overhaul.
Heat Secure Season Sweep
Coming off a massive 147-116 victory against Utah on 25 January, the Miami Heat entered Monday’s contest as 6.5-point favourites. The Heat’s defensive intensity and transition play proved too much for a Jazz team still adjusting to the arrival of Jaren Jackson Jr., who was recently acquired in a blockbuster trade from the Memphis Grizzlies.
Bam Adebayo once again anchored the Miami effort, following up his 26-point performance in their previous meeting with another commanding display in the paint. For Utah, Brice Sensabaugh and Keyonte George provided sparks of offence, but the Jazz were unable to overcome Miami’s ball movement, which has averaged nearly 29 assists per game this season.
Head-to-Head History and Stats

Key Developments
The Jazz are currently in a transitional phase. The acquisition of Jaren Jackson Jr. last week signals a shift in the franchise’s defensive identity, though the immediate results on the scoreboard have been hampered by a difficult road trip. Utah arrived in Miami following a heartbreaking 120-117 loss to the Orlando Magic on Saturday, where they surrendered a 17-point lead.
Miami, meanwhile, remains a formidable force at the Kaseya Center. Ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference in home win percentage, the Heat have utilised their consistency to stay in the hunt for a top-four playoff seed. Their ability to exploit Utah’s league-high turnover rate was a deciding factor in yesterday’s result.
