The Bobcats Could Have Been The Random Fact For Today

But Ray Allen had other ideas. Ray hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 2.1 seconds left that ended up being the difference in the Celtics 111-109 double overtime win over Charlotte last night. As mentioned to your right, no team has beaten the Lakers and Celtics in back to back games in 12 years. Beating the Lakers last night was great for Charlotte and turning around the next night with a win in Boston would have been extraordinary but again Ray Allen changed the plans, and not for the first time which has not endeared him to Bobcats' fans.



It sadly has been an all too common tale for the Bobcats this season; leading late in the game, they allow the other team to creep back in snatch the in away in the end. Forgetting the free-throw disparity of 26-7 in favor of the Celtics (7 freakin free-throws in an NBA game that goes two overtimes are you kidding me!) this was a game the Bobcats should have and needed to win. They now sit 1.5 games back of the Bulls and 2 back of the Pistons. The good news is the Cats are only one game back of Chicago in the loss column, the bad news is 5 of their last 7 are on the road, where they are 12-24 this year. Some argue that making the playoffs in that 8th spot is pointless since they will face the Cavs and be anihilated by Bron and company, but having the best player in the league visit your town and the extra revenue and attention is worth it.
