After Action Report
The Heat squeaked past the Rockets 111-109. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
