After Action Report
The Rockets buried the Heat 104-78. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
