After Action Report

The Rockets edged the Heat 104-97. The Rockets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Heat's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
