"Carlos Arroyo and Raja Bell hugged each other after the Utah Jazz defeated the Heat 116-114 in overtime Tuesday night.

Maybe they pinched each other, too, just to affirm that they weren't dreaming, that they really were on the court with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Deron Williams, that they were part of a crazy NBA game that took a 180-degree turn from dull to dramatic.

The former FIU teammates had to take a deep breath. An improbable outcome they can log in the memory bank of their improbable careers.

Arroyo had to shake his head at the awakening of Williams, who chugged to 19 second-half points and 12 assists -- another point guard exploiting the Heat.

Bell had to smile at the reversal from a 22-point deficit to upset of the league's glamour team. It was he who initiated a halftime pep talk and inspired Paul Millsap to score a career-high 46 points.

``In the first half, we played soft,'' Millsap said. ``Then Raja told us what we needed to hear, to get aggressive, move around. When Raja talks, it means something.''

It was one of those frantic, draining games that you don't expect on a Tuesday in November. Heat fans went from yawning to grimacing. In the Heat's third loss in eight games, the 3-3 Jazz, playing their second night in a row, exposed the Heat's vulnerability on defense under the basket and at point guard."
