After Action Report
The Heat squeaked past the Rockets 103-98. The Heat won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
