After Action Report
In Charlotte, the Celtics handled the Bobcats 100-85. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Bobcats couldn't shake the cold spell; Bobcats' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. The Bobcats rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bobcats · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
