After Action Report

In Houston, the Rockets edged the Heat 116-108 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets came in with something to prove after a loss; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
