On February 5th, the Bobcats returned to their home court and easily defeated the Celtics 107 to 92 in a back-to-back home game.
Zhang Yang played 29 minutes tonight, making 7 of 16 shots, missing all 3 three-pointers, and scoring 21 points, 2 rebounds, and 7 assists with 7 of 8 free throws.
He was double-teamed quite aggressively tonight. The opponent's defense was very random, choosing to double-team whoever they wanted, and Rivers didn't intervene.
Collecting 7 assists in less than 30 minutes, this assist efficiency is his second highest in over 40 games this season, with the highest being when he got a triple-double against the Nuggets.
The Celtics have been one of the most discussed teams by players this season. After the game, the Bobcats players were also talking about the Celtics.
Zhang Yang: "Going from 12 wins and 14 losses to 16 wins and 33 losses, how badly do they want a high draft pick? It's ruthless."
