After Action Report

The Rockets survived the Heat 104-103. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
