After Action Report

In Charlotte, the Bobcats shocked the Wizards 108-101. The Wizards had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Bobcats came in with something to prove after a loss; Bobcats' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
