After Action Report
In a track meet, the Heat fended off the Rockets 123-115. Heat controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Heat's stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
