After Action Report

The Bobcats outlasted the Timberwolves 98-88. Ugly basketball, but the Bobcats did just enough. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Bobcats; Bobcats' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Bobcats locker room is humming, and it showed. Bobcats' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
