After Action Report
In Miami, the Rockets buried the Heat 94-73. Ugly basketball, but the Rockets did just enough. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
