The meticulously prepared game plan was utterly useless!
Unexpectedly, the other side completely abandoned their previously successful tactics and didn't follow the usual script!
Mike Brown could see that playing this way didn't offer the opponents much advantage, but he just wasn't as relaxed as the other coach.
The reason was simple: in the regular season plus playoffs, the Knights had lost 18 straight games against the Bobcats!
In NBA history, the record for the most consecutive losses by one team against another is held by the Grizzlies. After joining the NBA in 1995, they lost 24 straight games to the Lakers over six and a half seasons, until the second half of the 01-02 season. It wasn't until Gasol fully adapted to the pace of NBA games that the Grizzlies achieved their first victory against the Lakers.
Now the Knights were on their way to this 'historical record'!
And Mike Brown had no solution to this unexpected situation.
