After Action Report
The Bobcats handled the Knicks 109-95. The Bobcats won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Bobcats sent shots into the fifth row all night; the Bobcats carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. 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.
