After Action Report

In Charlotte, the Bobcats buried the Mavericks 117-86. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bobcats cashed in. The Bobcats ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Bobcats' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bobcats locker room is humming, and it showed. Bobcats' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
