After Action Report
In Charlotte, the Bobcats took care of the Rockets 90-79. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bobcats. Bobcats' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bobcats couldn't shake the cold spell. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
