After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Heat 99-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Rockets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
