After Action Report

The Heat outlasted the Rockets 101-93. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in. 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.
