After Action Report

In Charlotte, the Bobcats survived the Lakers 95-91. Bobcats' scorers couldn't be contained. The Bobcats owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Bobcats couldn't shake the cold spell. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bobcats · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
