After Action Report
In a track meet, the Heat snuck past the Rockets 113-111. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Heat; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
