After Action Report

The Heat snuck past the Rockets 97-94. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. The Heat ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Rockets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Heat · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
