The Bobcats finally got a healthy squad and lost newly acquired Rudy Gay to a severely sprained ankle and he will be out 2-4 weeks . This is a big blow to Charlotte as now they have both starting wing players out in Gay/Brooks. Now look for Morrow, and Reggie Williams to get the start until the injured players get back. I would expect a lot of scoring to come from the bigs (Boozer, Thompson, Speights) and from Kyrie Irving.
The Bobcats led this game by 17 points but lost it with a nice streak by Boston. Boozer scored 8 straight points for Charlotte in the 4th to give them a 10 point lead again and they would hold on for the win. Boozer led the scoring with 18 points, and Irving scored 16 in the win and added 10 assists. Gay scored 9 before leaving in the 3rd due to the injury after grabbing a rebound.
