The 2012-13 Charlotte Bobcats, under head coach Mike Dunlap, endured a challenging NBA season, finishing with a 21-61 record. Despite showing some improvement from the previous season’s 7-59 record, the team struggled to find consistency and cohesion on the court. Kemba Walker emerged as a bright spot, leading the team with an average of 17.7 points per game, while Gerald Henderson contributed significantly, averaging 15.5 points.
Defensively, the Bobcats faced significant challenges, ranking near the bottom of the league in points allowed per game. The team underwent several roster changes and rotations throughout the season, aiming to build a more competitive squad for the future. The Bobcats’ struggles were compounded by poor performance on the road, managing only 6 wins away from home. This season highlighted the need for strategic rebuilding as the franchise looked ahead to rebranding as the Charlotte Hornets.
