After Action Report

The Rockets blew the doors off the Heat 133-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
