After Action Report
The Bobcats survived the Lakers 108-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Bobcats' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bobcats answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Bobcats locker room is humming, and it showed. Bobcats' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
