After Action Report

The Bobcats pulled away from the Wizards 145-128. The Bobcats got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Bobcats carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Bobcats per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Wizards · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Wizards · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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.
