After Action Report
In Charlotte, the Bobcats buried the Rockets 121-80. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Bobcats' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Bobcats locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Bobcats · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
