After Action Report

The Rockets held off the Heat 126-118. Rockets' offense had its way with the Heat. Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
