After Action Report
The Rockets snuck past the Heat 112-107. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
