Played big minutes, 35-plus minutes.

But Rockets down the stretch just could not hang with Miami.

Really good follow for Rockets and NBA talk.

Guys, there's lots to talk about and address.

We're certainly going to talk about some of the players here for this game.

But this was one where after a really blistering hot start out of the gate for the Rockets, which everybody was like, oh, my gosh, this is for real.

I think it was a 37-14 Miami run from there that changed the game.

Yeah, to me, this was the worst Shingun game in a while.

I mean, he's had some pretty bad ones, I think, lately.

But this one, this was more of a playoff-style game.

And, you know, the Rockets kind of get away with putting Shingun on the worst player, the guy they want to shoot or do something.

Pele Larson is 32% three-point shooter.

Larson just destroyed him.

I mean, he just went at him, you know, several times.

There was a play in the third quarter where Bam went around Shingun

I swear there was five, six feet between them the whole time he went out uncontested for a dunk.
