After Action Report
In Houston, the Rockets edged the Heat 112-104. Rockets torched the Heat on the offensive end. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
