Bobcats needed a big basket and Morrison delivered

MORRISON WATCH

Haven’t had one of these in a while, but when Adam Morrison nails a gutsy 3-pointer like he did Tuesday night, helping Charlotte snap the Cavs’ eight-game winning streak, we have a Morrison Watch post.

With the game tied at 96 and 2:15 left in overtime, Morrison, who hadn’t had his best shooting night of the season, rose up and nailed a 3-pointer to give Charlotte a lead it would never lose. It’s the type of shot the Bobcats need the third pick in last year’s draft to make.

Here’s the story from the Charlotte Observer. Funny thing. It’s the same one we ran.
