After Action Report

The Bobcats outlasted the Pistons 99-89. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bobcats. Bobcats' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bobcats locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
