After Action Report
In a track meet, the Bobcats survived the Knicks 106-102. Ugly basketball, but the Bobcats did just enough. The Bobcats came in with something to prove after a loss; Bobcats' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
