After Action Report

The Bobcats blew the doors off the Wizards 128-95. The Wizards had no answer for the variance gods tonight. 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. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
