After Action Report

The Heat took care of the Rockets 133-116. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

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.
