The Charlotte Bobcats are back home Friday and looking for their fifth-straight win as the Los Angeles Clippers come to town.
The Bobcats (32-31) are coming off a convincing 102-87 win at Philadelphia on Wednesday behind Gerald Wallace’s 28 points. Stephen Jackson chipped in 24 points and 10 rebounds as the Bobcats continue to climb up the Eastern Conference standings.
Entering Friday’s matchup with the Clippers (25-40), the Bobcats are in seventh place in the East and just two games behind fifth place Milwaukee (34-29).
Friday will be the second and final game of the season between the Bobcats and Clippers. The two teams played February 22 in Los Angeles, with the Clippers defeating the Bobcats, 98-94.
Charlotte held a lead until late in the fourth quarter when the Clippers’ Rasual Butler hit a game tying three-pointer with 2:41 left. The teams battled back and forth in the closing minutes, but Los Angeles went 9-of-12 from the free throw line to seal the win.
The Bobcats are 4-7 against the Clippers all-time, but have won four of the last five matchups.
