After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Heat 118-111. The Rockets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Heat; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep.
What tipped it
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
