After Action Report
The Heat blew the doors off the Rockets 124-100. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Rockets · 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.
