After Action Report
In Charlotte, the Bobcats ran roughshod over the Rockets 130-108. The Bobcats got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Bobcats carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Bobcats bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Bobcats locker room is humming, and it showed. Bobcats' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
