After Action Report

The Bobcats ran roughshod over the Lakers 112-91. Bobcats' offense had its way with the Lakers. Bobcats' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Bobcats locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
