After Action Report

In Detroit, the Bobcats outlasted the Pistons 101-95. Ugly basketball, but the Bobcats did just enough. The Bobcats came in with something to prove after a loss; the Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
