After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat blew the doors off the Rockets 128-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
