After Action Report
The Bobcats ran roughshod over the Lakers 131-96. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Bobcats' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bobcats ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bobcats · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
