After Action Report

In Charlotte, the Bobcats blew the doors off the Rockets 127-101. Bobcats torched the Rockets on the offensive end. Bobcats' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bobcats owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Bobcats locker room is humming, and it showed. Bobcats' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bobcats · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Bobcats · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
