After Action Report
In Indiana, the Bobcats snuck past the Pacers 80-77. Bobcats' offense had its way with the Pacers. The Bobcats carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Bobcats bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Bobcats per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.

- Bobcats · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
