After Action Report
The Rockets demolished the Heat 131-103. The Heat had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
