After Action Report
The Rockets held off the Heat 110-101. Rockets torched the Heat on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in; Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
