2012–13 Charlotte Bobcats season

The 2012–13 Charlotte Bobcats season was the 23rd season of NBA basketball in Charlotte, and their ninth as the Charlotte Bobcats. Charlotte started out this season by getting a close 90–89 win over the Indiana Pacers to end a 23-game losing streak that started at the end of their previous season and finished the season on a three-game winning streak, and the team's 21–61 record was enough to finish fourth in the Southeast division for the eighth time in nine seasons. The Bobcats tripled their win total from the prior lockout-shortened season, and showed signs of genuine improvement.

Key dates June 28, 2012: The 2012 NBA draft took place at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. November 10, 2012: This day marks the first time in Charlotte Bobcats history that they defeated the Dallas Mavericks.
