After Action Report
The Rockets rolled past the Heat 129-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Heat are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. 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.
