Game Notes:
- Miami and Boston currently hold the same 54-24 record with 4 games remaining for each. Boston owns the tiebreaker thanks to their 3-0 record against the Heat so far this season.
- Amongst a myriad of injuries, the Bobcats have missed Stephen Jackson for the last 4 games, going 0-4 in his absence. The team's leading scorer is highly questionable for tonight's game, a big loss for a team who struggles to score buckets as it is.
- The Bobcats' loss to the Magic last Wednesday mathematically eliminiated them from playoff contention.
