After Action Report
The Bobcats snuck past the Trail Blazers 113-108. Bobcats torched the Trail Blazers on the offensive end. The Bobcats owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bobcats answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
