After Action Report

In Charlotte, the Bobcats took care of the Timberwolves 105-95. The Timberwolves couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bobcats. Bobcats' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Bobcats' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bobcats locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
