Ever since they secured a 9-game winning streak and became the only undefeated team in the league, the Bobcats had already become the center of attention.
Teams that started with a 10-game winning streak are extremely rare in the entire history of the NBA.
When the Bobcats secured a 10-game win streak, the question of who could end the Bobcats' run had become the hottest topic in the basketball realm.
The 76ers and the Timberwolves were considered candidates for the 'Cat Hunt' operation; although their records were mediocre, they had both beaten top-four teams from either conference this season. They were young, talented, and full of energy... much like the early Bobcats and Hornets, and after playing for almost a month, they had become the young teams that fans eagerly anticipated.
Both teams had a chance to win during the 'Cat Hunt,' but in the end, they lost, as no one could step up to make the clutch shots, and in those crucial moments, they were dominated by Zhang Yang.
