After Action Report

In Charlotte, the Bobcats snuck past the Magic 103-102. Ugly basketball, but the Bobcats did just enough. The Bobcats owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bobcats played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Bobcats' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
