For Charlotte, this team is starting to mesh, as it takes on Boston for the second time this season. In their season-opener, the Bobcats were humiliated with an embarrassed 33-point thumping by Boston, 92-59. But since then, the young Bobcats have put thing together with an impressive 4-game win streak that includes victories over Cleveland and Washington.
Thanks to some stellar defense, Charlotte has put together its second best win streak in franchise history. "Man, defense kept us in some games and gave us an opportunity to win some games when we were making shots," forward Gerald Wallace said.
For the C’s, they are starting to click on the offensive side of the floor. In Sunday’s game in South Florida, Boston shot 52% from the field, defeating the Miami Heat, 92-85. Ray Allen hit a clutch bucket that sealed the deal for the Celtics on the road. Kevin Garnett led the way with 24 points on 11-for-12 shooting.
"You never can take anything for granted,'' said Allen. "Every win is much needed. So you just have to create momentum. That's important."
