After Action Report

In Charlotte, the Bobcats handled the Celtics 99-89. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bobcats. Second-chance points piled up for the Bobcats; fresh off a statement win, the Bobcats stayed locked in. The Bobcats rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
