At 8 PM, the Bobcats' away game showdown against the Lakers began!
Before the game, the media predicted how exciting the offense would be and how beautiful the match would unfold between the two teams.
The Lakers average 105.1 points per game and concede 99.4 points, appearing strong in offense but average in defense;
The Bobcats average 105 points per game and concede 97.2 points, embodying both offense and defense, often achieving high scores.
In the regular season so far, the league's average points per game have surpassed 100, with the Hornets conceding 100.2 points per game, precisely at that average line.
The media's prediction based on the average data and high-scoring games of both teams wasn't unreasonable.
But both teams' head coaches were shrewd and cunning, each wanting to outwit the other, resulting in both thinking alike—starting with high intensity and tough defense.
