Charlotte collapsed today, allowing Golden State to pull off a huge upset. The final score of 100-88 was less surprising than the Charlotte performance, one of the worst in the last two seasons by the team. "They look like they're on vacation playing a pickup game," said one of the commentators of the game. "Do they even care that this game matters?" Indeed, White was the only Charlotte player that did well.

After the game, Golden State coach Perez Suarez was as stunned as the reporters. "Well, I didn't really think we had a chance. I figured we'd go in, put up the best opposition we could, and try to come out without getting pounded too badly. But after I saw the way they were playing, I knew we had a chance to pull it off. I told Reeve that this was our chance to win the big one, and that he needed to rally the troops. That's exactly what he did, and we were able to come out on top."

Golden State was led by Reeve (28 points, 0 assists, a block), Cordner (10 points, 18 boards, 0 assists, a block), Mattox (18 points, a block). Charlotte was led by White (28 points, a steal), Plungis (13 points, 0 assists, a steal, a block), Sandercock (8 points, a steal).

Golden State broke their losing streak at 6 games, and are now 18-54. They stay at #3 in the Pacific and remain at #13 overall in the Western Conference. After the loss, Charlotte stand at 45-28 and 26-10 at home. They remain at #2 in the Southeast and hold at #4 overall in the Eastern Conference.
