CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Charlotte's Larry Brown is the NBA's Eastern Conference coach of the month after the Bobcats doubled their win total in January.
Entering 2010 at 12-18, the Bobcats went 12-4 to move into playoff contention. The month included a win at Cleveland, a franchise-tying six consecutive victories overall, and nine in a row at home.
Charlotte ended January with three straight road wins after beginning the month 1-14 away from home.
The 69-year-old Brown is in his second season in Charlotte after a two-year hiatus from coaching. The Hall of Famer is in his record ninth NBA head coaching job.
Denver's George Karl was the Western Conference coach of the month.
