Bobcats' Opinion: Bulls Talk Too Much

Dec 29, 2005 7:04 AM EST

Did the Bulls trash-talk themselves into a loss Wednesday to the Charlotte Bobcats? The Bobcats say yes.

"They said some things like, `We lost to the Bad News Bears.' That kind of got to us a little bit and motivated us," said Melvin Ely, the Chicagoan from Thornton High School who had a game- and season-high 20 points. "Anytime you win in this league, it's not luck. We lost that first game to them, but then when they got a loss (Dec. 20 in Chicago), don't go speaking about it. That motivated us a lot."

Brezec's Late Hoop Wins It For Bobcats

Dec 28, 2005 12:06 AM EST

Primoz Brezec made the go-ahead basket in the final seconds and Knight scored 22 points as the Bobcats beat the Atlanta Hawks 93-90 on Tuesday night.

Knight liked how his team held together without Kareem Rush and Emeka Okafor, two of the Bobcats' top three scorers.

"There was no breakdown," Knight said. "That's the NBA lead. Teams make runs. We knew that they would make a run. They got their fans into it, and we weren't making any shots."

The Bobcats improved to 4-11 on the road, but they have won three consecutive away games and three of four overall.

Reserves Bernard Robinson and Keith Bogans each scored 13 points for Charlotte, which snapped Atlanta's four-game winning streak at home.

May To Sit Again Against Atlanta

Dec 27, 2005 1:33 PM EST

Sean May won't play tonight when the Charlotte visits Atlanta, but he's expected back in the Bobcats' lineup sometime this week.

May missed Charlotte's last pre-Christmas game against the Los Angeles Clippers with a sore right knee. And according to the Charlotte Observer, he'll miss at least another game as he tries to regain his jumping ability. After scoring in double figures in three straight games in mid-December, May scored four, seven, one and six points before missing the Dec. 23 game against the Clippers.

May, who had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee last summer due to torn cartilage, also had just two rebounds in each game.

He missed three games in late November as well.
