    Facing Miami's tough zone defense a second time, the Utah Jazz finally figured it out.

    The Jazz balanced patience and aggression. They attacked the rim and kept the ball moving as much as possible to prevent getting bogged down and forcing bad shots.

    The result was a 116-101 victory over the Heat on Wednesday night.

    "There is a point in the game where you can either go one of two ways," guard Donovan Mitchell said. "We just wanted to attack, put the pressure on and keep it going. You can get teams on their heels and you can kind of relax and let them kind of gain the momentum back."

    Mitchell did his part to press the attack. He scored 26 points on 9-of-16 shooting while getting it done inside and out. He shot over 50% from the field for a second consecutive game.
