After Action Report

In Washington, the Bobcats squeaked past the Wizards 104-100. The Bobcats won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Bobcats; the Bobcats looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Bobcats per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
