After Action Report

The Bobcats survived the Raptors 102-101. Ugly basketball, but the Bobcats did just enough. The Bobcats owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Raptors played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Bobcats locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Raptors · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
