After Action Report
In Portland, the Bobcats knocked off the Trail Blazers 117-103. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Bobcats' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Early returns: the Bobcats per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
