By ⋅ March 26, 2011 ⋅ One comment

The Celtics lost five of nine heading into Friday night’s game against the Bobcats, but Charlotte was without leading scorer Stephen Jackson or second-leading rebounder Tyrus Thomas for the game, so the Celtics should have been able to take out the Bobcats with ease at home.
