After Action Report

The Rockets rolled past the Heat 127-97. The Heat had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
