After Action Report
The Heat downed the Rockets 118-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Heat; Heat's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
