After Action Report

In Charlotte, the Bobcats handled the Celtics 118-101. The Bobcats won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Bobcats came in with something to prove after a loss; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
