After Action Report

In Houston, the Rockets edged the Heat 108-99. Rockets' offense had its way with the Heat. The Rockets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
