Basketball Betting Lines
11/07/2008 - Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Raymond Felton had 20 points, including two huge free throws late in the game, to help the Bobcats edge the Hornets, 92-89, in a thriller from Charlotte Bobcats Arena.
Jason Richardson also had 20 points for the Bobcats, who snapped a two-game skid. Emeka Okafor had 10 points to match his 10 rebounds. D.J. Augustin had 11 points off the bench.
Chris Paul had 20 points, 10 assists and six steals for the Hornets, who have let two in a row slip away. Peja Stojakovic also had 20 points and seven rebounds, while David West and James Posey gave 11 points each.
Four points from Paul, three from Posey and a layup by Rasual Butler gave the Hornets the lead, 73-68, with about eight minutes left in regulation.
Moments later, two free throws from Augustin and a jumper from Matt Carroll made it a one-point game, 76-75, with 6:01 showing on the clock.
West interjected with a jumper, but 10 straight points from Charlotte gave the Bobcats an 85-78 lead. Augustin started it off with a bucket and closed it out with a three-pointer with 2:52 showing on the clock.
"We got to the free throw line and we made shots," Bobcats coach Larry Brown said. "We got 30 points off turnovers against a good defensive team. It was a great win for us."
Paul answered with a jumper, Stojakovic drained a three before Gerald Wallace made two free throws for Charlotte. Butler then hit from behind the arc to bring the Hornets within 87-86 with under a minute left to play.
Richardson then went 1-of-2 from the line, before a bad pass from Paul led to two more from the line by Richardson, making it 90-86 with 16.9 ticks left.
The Hornets called a timeout and Stojakovic nailed a three-pointer 2.3 seconds later, and New Orleans was within one point.
Paul was then forced to foul Felton on the ensuing possession, and he hit both shots to give Charlotte a 92-89 edge.
The Hornets had one last shot to tie it up, but Stojakovic missed. Posey, though, grabbed the rebound and dished it to Paul, whose three-pointer caromed off the back of the iron to end the contest.
"The good thing is it's early in the season, we can find different ways to counter that," Paul said. "Other guys are going to have to attack to keep teams honest."
The Hornets had a 28-26 lead after the first quarter, but Charlotte took a 47-35 lead at the break.
Down by 14 midway through the third, five points from Morris Peterson and a three-pointer from Stojakovic brought the visitors within 57-51 with 5:55 left in the stanza.
The teams battled, and Charlotte cut it to within five points, 66-61, heading into the final 12 minutes.
