Tracy Mcgrady was quiet, but hit when it mattered.
Off a 62 percent shooting night, the game against the league leading Rockets was different like day and night. The Heat scored 84 points, not 132. They shot an average 47% from the field, but got to the foul line only 13 times, making 7 of 'em.
The Heat got the lead down to six with reserves, but Aaron Brooks hit a dagger three-pointer with 36 seconds to go. The Heat couldn't get back, as they shot 5-20 from three-range. Kyle Korver was 2-11.
If a good performance can be pointed out from the Heat, it'll be Mario Chalmers, he had 5 assists and 5 steals in 26 minutes. Michael Beasley didn't pull down a rebound. In the past two games, Tyson Chandler is averaging 4.5 rebounds.
Yao led the Rockets with 31 points. It wasn't all perfect, as he only pulled down 3 rebounds. Tracy Mcgrady scored 5 points.
It's home cookin' again for the Heat, as Denver comes to town. The Denver game will wrap up November for the Heat.

The Nuggets couldn't control the boards, as Chandler's tip-in late was the dagger.
The final game in November was ahead, and the Heat wanted to end the month on positive notes. They succeeded, despite shooting 46.7%. Especially when looking at the Nuggets shooting of 52.6%.
The key to the victory was the strong 3rd quarter, after a which the heat gained a 9-point lead. The Nuggets, however, fought back and stayed in the game. They never got to a tie, but got to within a point with 1.36 to go. But then Kyle Korver hit back-to-back threes and Chandler tipped in a free throw miss by Beasley with 34.2 seconds to go, giving the Heat a 9 point advantage.
The Heat finished the month with a 5-2 record, more information in the "Heat Monthly".
Damn, I didn't notice that I hadn't posted the predictions. Anyway, I think you made a mistake: The Heat finished the season with a 5-2 record, i think you meant month instead of season. So who are you going to play next?
