After Action Report
The Heat ran roughshod over the Rockets 108-88. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it

- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
