After Action Report
The Bobcats upended the Rockets 106-98. The Bobcats won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Bobcats' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Rockets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Bobcats' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
