The Miami Heat could become the first team to sweep the Houston Rockets this season. The other two teams that can pull off that feat are the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers.
Tonight is the second night of a back-to-back for the Rockets, but the Heat had Friday off. Thankfully for Houston, their game against the Hawks was put to bed early in the fourth quarter, so only three players logged over 30 minutes.

To recap Miami’s strategy, they go fast and take the first good shot they can get. They led the league in unadjusted offense earlier in the season, but they’ve settled into a team in the middle of the pack.
Bam Adebayo did drop 83 points in a game, so Houston will need to keep him off the free throw line and hope he doesn’t go off.
