After Action Report
The Bobcats blew the doors off the Pistons 139-112. The breakneck pace played right into Bobcats' hands. Bobcats' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Bobcats. The Bobcats locker room is humming, and it showed. Bobcats' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
