After Action Report

The Heat outlasted the Rockets 110-91. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

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.
  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
