After Action Report
The Bobcats ran roughshod over the Rockets 139-114. The breakneck pace played right into Bobcats' hands. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Bobcats; Bobcats' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Rockets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
