Jackson thriller seals Bobcats comeback
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 14 - 02 - 2011

ATLANTA: Stephen Jackson hit a last-second jump shot to complete a remarkable Charlotte Bobcats comeback beating the Hawks 88-86 Saturday night.
Charlotte rallied after trailing by 22 points in the second quarter and were led superbly by Jackson, a former Atlanta player, who scored 32 points, including the winning shot over Maurice Evans and Al Horford. Shaun Livingston scored a season-high 22 points as Charlotte earned its first win in Atlanta since 2007. Josh Smith scored 28 points for Atlanta, which led by 22 in the second quarter and 18 in the third period.
Knicks 105, Nets 95: In Newark, New Jersey, Wilson Chandler replaced the injured Amare Stoudemire and scored 21 points as the New York Knicks beat the New Jersey Nets.
Reserve Toney Douglas added 19 points and Landry Fields had 14, making three big 3-pointers in the fourth quarter as the Knicks won for just the second time in six games and improved to 27-26.
Stoudemire missed his first game of the season with a sprained right big toe, but the Knicks overcame their All-Star's absence by making 16 3-pointers, including Chandler's that gave them the lead for good with 4:08 left. Devin Harris scored 22 for the Nets, who were bidding for their first three-game winning streak in two years.
Mavericks 106, Rockets 102: In Houston, Peja Stojakovic scored 22 points and moved to fourth place in career 3-pointers as the Dallas Mavericks beat the Houston Rockets.
Stojakovic, who was 1 for 11 from 3-point range in his previous three games, went 4 for 6 from beyond the arc. He has 1,723 career 3s and trails only teammate Jason Kidd (1,756), Reggie Miller (2,560) and Ray Allen (2,562) in NBA history. Allen passed Miller for the lead Thursday.
Dirk Nowitzki also scored 22 points and Shawn Marion had 14 points and nine rebounds for the Mavericks, who have won 12 of their last 14. Kyle Lowry scored 26 points and Kevin Martin added 17 for the Rockets.
Bulls 97, Hornets 88: In New Orleans, Derrick Rose scored 23 points as the Chicago Bulls methodically turned a 12-point third-quarter deficit into a comfortable victory over the New Orleans Hornets.
Spurs 118, Wizards 94: In Washington, Tony Parker scored 10 of his 18 points in less than 2 minutes during the first quarter to jump-start the San Antonio Spurs to a rout of the hapless Washington Wizards.
76ers 107, Timberwolves 87: In Minneapolis, Thaddeus Young led the 76ers with 18 points as Philadelphia cruised past the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Pacers 103, Bucks 97: In Milwaukee, Danny Granger scored 14 of his 30 points in the fourth quarter to help the Indiana Pacers end a six-game losing streak to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Thunder 99, Kings 97: In Sacramento, Kevin Durant scored 10 of his 35 points in the fourth quarter to help lead the Oklahoma City Thunder past the Sacramento Kings.
