After Action Report

The Bobcats survived the Knicks 103-102. Bobcats' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Bobcats; the Bobcats answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Bobcats per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
