After Action Report
The Bobcats buried the Pistons 134-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Bobcats cashed in. The Bobcats owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bobcats steamroller is in full effect right now. The Bobcats locker room is humming, and it showed. Bobcats' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
