After Action Report

The Bobcats handled the Raptors 114-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Bobcats stayed locked in; Bobcats' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Bobcats rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
