After Action Report
The Bobcats outlasted the Hornets 100-89. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bobcats. Bobcats' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; the Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Bobcats locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Bobcats per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
