After Action Report
The Heat downed the Rockets 116-104. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Heat stayed locked in; Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
