The Miami Heat got out to a preposterous start against the Houston Rockets on Sunday night, leading by as many as 41 points in a first half that ended 71-46 in favor of Miami.
Jimmy Butler had 17 points on 7-11 shooting in the first half, and Meyers Leonard and Duncan Robinson each pitched in 11 points. James Harden had 21 points at the half, but it was on 4-11 shooting, and everyone else on the Rockets was just miserable.
It’s unclear if the Rockets got messed up with Daylight Savings Time, had a little too much fun in Miami last night, both, or some other thing, but all I know is that the Heat are just smacking them. Just really walloping them.
The internet did their part, and laughed at the Rockets. Oh how they laughed.
Here’s hoping for an epic Rockets comeback, and then we can spend the second half laughing at the Heat. Life is all about balance.
