After Action Report

In a track meet, the Bobcats edged the Hornets 143-136 in overtime. Bobcats controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Bobcats are in a full-on tailspin; the Bobcats pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Bobcats rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bobcats · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
