After Action Report
The Heat pulled away from the Rockets 126-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
