The Bobcats fall to the Golden State Warriors 104-96 stretching the losing streak to now eight games, and the road only gets tougher. Kemba Walker was the Cats leading scorer with 24 points, with rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist having a solid showing of 17 points of his own.
The Cats trailed at the half by 18, making a better effort in the second half cutting the lead to eight late in the fourth, but it wasn’t enough to earn the victory.
With the Cats on this losing streak it’s getting harder and harder to circle wins. The Cats welcome in the Clippers on Wednesday, then travel to take on the Hawks Friday, whom they’ve played well, but have lost both of the previous matchups.
Ultimately, the Cats should end the losing streak at 10 games winning against the Orlando Magic who they face Saturday in Charlotte, unless they defeat the Clippers and or Hawks. As unreal as it may sound, they can pull off both wins, the odds just aren’t in their favor.
Through 20 games the Cats have two major problems, defending the three point line and execution in the half court offense. There are also some improvements from last season, the effort is there, and you now know Kemba Walker and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist are your franchise players moving forward
