After Action Report
In Charlotte, the Bobcats survived the Cavaliers 104-99. Ugly basketball, but the Bobcats did just enough. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Bobcats; Bobcats' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bobcats · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
