After Action Report

The Heat squeaked past the Rockets 106-102. Heat's offense had its way with the Rockets. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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.
