After Action Report
The Bobcats took care of the Rockets 107-88. The better team simply showed up tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Bobcats stayed locked in; the Rockets 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. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bobcats · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
