After Action Report
In Houston, the Heat outlasted the Rockets 93-86. The Heat won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
