After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Heat 126-120. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
