Heat dominate Rockets with historic first quarter

The Miami Heat jumped out to a 24-4 lead on the Houston Rockets. They never looked back.

The Heat scored a franchise-record 46 points in the first quarter and utterly dominated Houston Sunday night, 129-100. Miami repeatedly punished the Rockets for their porous defense, running players down the middle of the floor for easy layups and dunks.

Houston played much of the game without many bigs, and Meyers Leonard feasted around the rim.
