With five players in double-figures, the Bobcats defeated the Kings by a final score of 94-87. Sacramento made a 4th quarter comeback to make it close, outscoring the Bobcats 27-21 in the final frame. Luckily the Bobcats were up by 13 entering the 4th and they had room to be imperfect.
The Kings had trouble with Charlotte’s defense, shooting just 35-82 from the floor and 4-16 from 3-point land.
Emeka Okafor made another subtle argument on why he deserves Rookie Of The Year consideration by scoring 11 points and grabbing 13 rebounds.
The veteran leadership of Brevin Knight was there as usual for the Bobcats, as he scored 17 points and dished 10 assists.
With their 11th win of the season, they separated themselves from the last place Hawks, who may not win another game this season after trading away Antoine Walker.
Many NBA analysts predicted the Bobcats to be in danger of finishing their inaugural with single-digit wins, but by reaching 10 wins so early in the season, they now have their sights on completing the season out of the cellar, which is a very proud accomplishment for any expansion club.
