After Action Report

In Houston, the Heat ran roughshod over the Rockets 131-81. Heat's offense had its way with the Rockets. Heat's old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Rockets are in a full-on tailspin. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
