Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 30 points and grabbed 11 rebounds to lead the Miami Heat to a 115-109 victory over the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night, closing out a five game road trip with back to back wins.

Antetokounmpo shot 12 for 21 from the field and added four assists in 31 minutes, playing through a sprained right wrist that he iced in a heavy wrap whenever he sat. He now has 21,836 career points and passed Gary Payton to become the 39th leading scorer in NBA history. It was his eighth consecutive double double.

Miami led 29-25 after one quarter and 64-54 at halftime, with Pelle Larsson capping a 13-1 second quarter run with a 3-pointer that made it 49-32. Antetokounmpo then took over the third quarter, making four baskets during a 22-6 run that pushed the lead to 89-66, and Miami carried a 92-72 advantage into the fourth.

Utah refused to go away. Isaiah Collier drilled three straight 3-pointers to punctuate a 21-6 run that cut the lead to 101-93 with 6:42 left, and Svi Mykhailiuk made back to back baskets in the final minute to pull the Jazz within 112-107. Antetokounmpo answered with three baskets over a two minute stretch to restore a double digit lead, and late blocks from Klay Thompson and Bam Adebayo helped Miami close it out.

Davion Mitchell had 19 points and eight assists for the Heat, Larsson added 14, Andrew Wiggins scored 13 off the bench, and Adebayo finished with 11 points, eight rebounds, four assists and three steals. Miami scored 25 points off 18 Utah turnovers and improved to 5-6, winning for the third time in four games.

Rookie Darryn Peterson led Utah with 25 points and four assists before fouling out with 4:35 remaining, and Ace Bailey added 23 points. Collier finished with 17 points, 15 of them in the fourth quarter. The Jazz were missing four starters to injury, Lauri Markkanen, Keyonte George, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jusuf Nurkic, and lost their ninth straight game to fall to 1-10.

The quarter scores were Miami 29, 35, 28 and 23, and Utah 25, 29, 18 and 37. Miami opens a five game homestand against Cleveland on Friday night. Utah hosts Orlando on Wednesday night to complete its back to back set.
