After Action Report
The Heat handled the Rockets 104-85. The better team simply showed up tonight. Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
