Charlotte couldn't get into the win column once again last night, as it fell 119-110 to the red hot Boston Celtics at Charlotte Coliseum.

Matt Carroll had a career-high 18 points for the Bobcats, who have dropped seven in a row. Carroll's previous career-high in points was 12, set Saturday versus the Lakers. This was his fourth game with the club.

Jason Kapono added 17 points for Charlotte, which has dropped 10 of 11 and 18 of its last 21. Emeka Okafor, fresh off his franchise-record 30-point performance on Saturday in a one-point loss to the Lakers, had 16 points and 12 rebounds for the Bobcats.

Brevin Knight and Keith Bogans also had 16 points apiece for Charlotte, which overcame a 13-point first quarter deficit only to fall short in the end. Primoz Brezec had 11 points for the Bobcats, who have dropped 13 of 16 at home. Charlotte is 0-6 in Monday games this season.

Charlotte head coach Bernie Bickerstaff picked up a double technical during the contest and was ejected as a result.

The Bobcats shot a solid 45 percent in the contest, but allowed Boston to nail 58 percent of its attempts. Charlotte also drained 7-of-16 (.438) from three- point range and 23-of-27 (.852) from the charity stripe.

Charlotte's schedule gets no easier for the rest of the week, as it hits the road for three against Denver (Wednesday), San Antonio (Friday) and Dallas (Saturday). The Bobcats are just 2-28 on the road this season.

Charlotte is among the NBA's worst in points per game (93.2, 24th), point differential (-6.6, 28th), field goal percentage (.428, 27th), opponents' field goal percentage (.463, 26th) and free throw percentage (.689, 28th).

Charlotte will begin a brutal week tonight, when it hosts the Orlando Magic at Charlotte Coliseum.

The Bobcats' tough week will continue on Wednesday at home against Phoenix and on the road in Orlando on Thursday. Charlotte will finish up its week against Miami at the Coliseum on Saturday.

The Bobcats will try to snap a 10-game losing streak, as they have lost 13 of 14, 20 of 22 and 21 of their last 24 games overall, including a 104-93 defeat to the Dallas Mavericks at AmericanAirlines Center on Saturday. Keith Bogans poured in 27 points and Primoz Brezec added 16 for the Bobcats in the loss.

Bogans has been on a nice run as of late, tallying double-digits in five of the last seven games. The Kentucky product is posting 9.2 points per contest this season.

Emeka Okafor posted 12 points and 10 rebounds and Brevin Knight chipped in 11 points and 13 assists in the loss. Melvin Ely tacked on 11 points and Jason Hart posted 10 in the contest.

Charlotte utilized only eight players in the game, as forwards Malik Allen (sore left Achilles'), Bernard Robinson Jr. (left ankle injury) and Theron Smith (right knee injury) missed the contest. The trio is listed as questionable for tonight's game.

Charlotte has tallied just a 10-21 home mark, losing eight of 10 and 13 of its last 16 home games. The Bobcats are playing the first of a short, two-game homestand.

The teams have split a pair of meetings with the home team winning both games. Charlotte registered a 111-100 victory over the Magic at Charlotte Coliseum on Nov.6.
