The Miami HEAT fell to the Houston Rockets 115-102 Tuesday night at Toyota Center. Luol Deng led the way for the HEAT with 17 points.
1. Deng Fights Hard After Halftime
With Miami down 71-57 in the third quarter, Deng was the catalyst on a 15-3 HEAT run to cut the deficit to two. He ended up with eight points in the period, including a great follow and two corner threes. The vet also defended James Harden for a majority of the game, which obviously took up a lot of energy. Earlier in the night, Deng also had a thunderous baseline jam off a nice set up by Goran Dragic. In addition to his 17 points on 7-of-13 shooting, the former Blue Devil tallied eight boards and three assists.
