After Action Report
In Charlotte, the Bobcats snuck past the Rockets 111-107. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Bobcats answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Bobcats' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Bobcats' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
