After Action Report
The Bobcats outlasted the Celtics 96-82. Ugly basketball, but the Bobcats did just enough. The Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
