After Action Report

The Rockets buried the Heat 141-94. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
