After Action Report
In Portland, the Bobcats outlasted the Trail Blazers 117-106. The Bobcats got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Bobcats' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Bobcats' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
