After Action Report
In Detroit, the Bobcats survived the Pistons 118-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bobcats cashed in. The Bobcats answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Bobcats bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Bobcats per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
