After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets survived the Heat 108-106. The better team simply showed up tonight. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
