After Action Report
The Bobcats snuck past the Lakers 103-101. Bobcats' scorers couldn't be contained. The Bobcats played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Bobcats bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Bobcats locker room is humming, and it showed. Bobcats' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
