Russell Westbrook did a good job of running the offense with 20 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. Nenad Krstic pitched in with 13 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocked shots last night. The Thunder are now 15-14 on the year.
The Bobcats got outrebounded 48-36 last night and it was a big reason for the loss last night. Stephen Jackson led the way for the Bobcats last night with 24 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. Nazr Mohammed got the start at center last night and he finished up with 16 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists in 27 minutes. Gerald Wallace pitched in with 13 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocked shots but he was only 3 of 9 shooting from the floor. The Bobcats are now 11-17 on the year.
Back-up shooting guard Flip Murray looks like he’s trying to build a house with all of the bricks that he has been heaving up towards the rim this season. Murray is only shooting 33.7% from the floor, 23.6% from the three point line and 62.3% from the free throw line this year. Murray has played in 21 games (1 start) for the Bobcats this season and he is averaging 19.7 minutes, 8.1 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. Murray won’t be getting any more minutes than he is getting right now until his shooting improves because his offense is the only thing he has to offer a basketball team.
The Bobcats will be without starting center Tyson Chandler for at least a week with a stress reaction in his left foot. Chandler has played in 25 games (all starts) this season for the Bobcats and he is averaging 25.7 minutes, 6.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 0.4 assists and 1.2 blocked shots per game. The Bobcats will start Nazr Mohammed at center while Chandler is out of action. This should help the offense of the Bobcats as Mohammed is a much better player than Chandler on that side of the court. He has played in 27 games (2 starts) for the Bobcats this season and he is averaging 13.5 minutes, 7.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game. The Bobcats should be fine until Chandler is ready to return to action as Mohammed is a very capable back-up.
The Bobcats played great defense last night holding the Pistons to only 37.8% shooting from the floor and it was the main reason for the win. Gerald Wallace led the way for the Bobcats with 29 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists. Stephen Jackson only shot 5 of 15 from the floor but he still finished with 13 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists last night. Nazr Mohammed pitched in with 12 points and 9 rebounds in only 18 minutes off the bench. The Bobcats are now 11-16 on the year.
