After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Heat 116-102. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets steamroller is in full effect right now. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
