CHARLOTTE 105 CLIPPERS 95<P>
1. Charlotte 2-0 L2 vs Clippers including 107-100 win at LA on January 28th. In that game the Clippers shot 0% from three point land and even worse, the Bobcats had 34 foul shots to the Clippers 15. Not a pretty site at home. The previous outing in Charlotte saw the Bobcats win 108-103. Both games saw both teams score over 100 points. The Clippers have allowed over 100 in 5 of their 6 games on this road trip and all have gone over the total.
2. This will be the Clippers 7th game in 11 nights all on the road. The legs just are not there to play defense. With Juwan Howard back in the mix the Bobcats can now use their bench to greater significance again. In his first game back he hit for 14 points and Augustin hit for 27 as he picks up the slack for the ailing Bell.
3. Jordan continues to improve this team with their deal with the Lakers. In comes a 3 point shooter and leaving is a guy in Morrison who played zero defense. Great trade. However, Jordans best move was acquiring Larry Brown to run the show. The 2 of them have the Cats 29-21 ATS on the year.
4. Home court and having to win by just a bucket. Too good to pass up. Charlotte have won 5 of 7 at home with wins coming against the Cetics, Suns and Blazers and a 2 point loss to the Spurs. And we all know the Clippers are in no way in the same class as these 4 opponents. Clippers come in 9-17 on the road.
5. Simply put... Charlotte wins by 10
