After Action Report
The Heat shocked the Rockets 143-128. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
