After Action Report

The Bobcats buried the Timberwolves 117-87. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Bobcats answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Timberwolves played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Bobcats bench chemistry carried them. Bobcats' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
