After Action Report

The Heat fended off the Rockets 112-104. Heat's offense had its way with the Rockets. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
