After Action Report
The Bobcats took care of the Rockets 95-79. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Bobcats. The Bobcats carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Bobcats bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
