After Action Report

In Miami, the Heat survived the Rockets 104-103. Heat's offense had its way with the Rockets. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. 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.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
