After Action Report

The Bobcats outlasted the Mavericks 96-87. Every possession went the Bobcats way. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Mavericks looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
