After Action Report

In Charlotte, the Bobcats squeaked past the Timberwolves 101-96. Ugly basketball, but the Bobcats did just enough. The Bobcats carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Bobcats' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bobcats locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
