After Action Report
The Heat snuck past the Rockets 108-104. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
