The Miami Heat beat the Houston Rockets to improve their record this NBA season to 44-22, solidifying their spot as the top team in the Eastern Conference.
Playing lackadaisical ball for the first 20 minutes, Miami was sparked by Tyler Herro’s offense to rally and take the lead before the first half concluded. It was all Heat from there on, as Herro scored 31 points off the bench to lead his team in another stellar performance.
But the biggest win for Miami on Monday was the play of Victor Oladipo, who made his long-awaited return from a right quadriceps surgery.
