After Action Report

The Rockets blew the doors off the Heat 119-97. Rockets' offense had its way with the Heat. Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Heat's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
