After Action Report
The Bobcats squeaked past the Trail Blazers 96-95. Ugly basketball, but the Bobcats did just enough. Bobcats' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Bobcats came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bobcats · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
