After Action Report
In a track meet, the Bobcats survived the Hawks 116-112. The Bobcats won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Bobcats' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Bobcats owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bobcats · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
