After Action Report

In Charlotte, the Mavericks outlasted the Bobcats 102-89. The better team simply showed up tonight. Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Bobcats' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Whispers of a Bobcats locker-room rift aren't helping. The Bobcats rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bobcats · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
