INSIDE THE LOCKER ROOM
"I told the guys we have to put this one aside. We have a game tomorrow. I can’t put it all on these guys (who played tonight). If you take four quality guys off of any team you’ll see what they can do. That’s basically what we have, four players from this ball club that when they’re here, we’re going to be a better team."
- Bobcats Head Coach Paul Silas

"We started off well, but toward the end of the second quarter we started to slump. We didn’t come out with enough aggression or intensity in the third. We do a great job in our initial defense, but we couldn’t seem to get rebounds."
- Bobcats Guard Kemba Walker

GAME NOTES
Gerald Henderson scored 15 points to go along with Walker and Brown in double-digits… The Knicks got a huge night from their bench as they outscored the Bobcats reserves, 51-16… D.J. Augustin (Right Big Toe Inflammation) and DJ White (left knee contusion) both did not play due to their injuries.
