After Action Report
The Heat fended off the Rockets 103-96. The Heat won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat steamroller is in full effect right now. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
