After Action Report
In a track meet, the Heat stunned the Rockets 115-114. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Heat lately. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
