After Action Report

The Bobcats edged the Trail Blazers 120-111. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Bobcats' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Bobcats' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Tonight's Trail Blazers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
