After Action Report

The Bobcats knocked off the Rockets 117-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bobcats cashed in. Bobcats' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bobcats ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Bobcats per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
