After Action Report

In Dallas, the Bobcats squeaked past the Mavericks 137-135 in overtime. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Bobcats answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them.
