After Action Report

In Charlotte, the Bobcats squeaked past the SuperSonics 113-108. The breakneck pace played right into Bobcats' hands. Bobcats' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Bobcats' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Bobcats locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bobcats · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
