After Action Report

In Charlotte, the Bobcats took care of the Trail Blazers 103-92. Every possession went the Bobcats way. Fresh off a statement win, the Bobcats stayed locked in; Bobcats' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bobcats locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
