After Action Report
The Bobcats outlasted the Cavaliers 117-103. The breakneck pace played right into Bobcats' hands. The Bobcats owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bobcats pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Bobcats per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Bobcats · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
