--Coach Larry Brown isn't a big fan of the 3-point shot, but he can't argue with the results. The Bobcats have four of the top 27 3-point shooters in the league this season, more than any other team. Raja Bell, Vladimir Radmanovic, Boris Diaw and D.J. Augustin all shoot 42 percent or better from the arc.
--Considering the Bobcats' slim playoff hopes, every little advantage matters. If the Bobcats beat the Bulls on Tuesday, they would clinch a tiebreaker over Chicago (2-0 in a three-game series). The Bobcats would have to pass three teams, including the Bulls, to claim the last playoff spot in the East. QUOTE TO NOTE: "The playoffs is what we are going for right now, it is what we are playing for every night, trying to get closer to that eighth spot." -- Bobcats F Boris Diaw.
