After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Bobcats shocked the Hawks 129-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bobcats cashed in. The Bobcats carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Bobcats' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Bobcats per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
