After Action Report
In a track meet, the Heat squeaked past the Rockets 114-112. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
