After Action Report
The Heat squeaked past the Rockets 108-103. The Heat won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Heat · 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
