After Action Report
The Heat buried the Rockets 130-68. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat; the Rockets are in a full-on tailspin. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
