Bobcats-Timberwolves Preview

The Charlotte Bobcats avoided a rare four-game losing streak with a tight home win, which they'd love to parlay into a momentum-building road victory heading into the All-Star break.

Winning as the visiting team in Minnesota has suddenly turned into a challenge.

The Bobcats look for a fifth straight victory over a sub-.500 opponent Wednesday night at the Target Center, where the Timberwolves try for a fourth consecutive home win for the first time in more than a year.

Charlotte (25-25) is 19-6 at home but 6-19 on the road, a mark it will likely need to improve to secure the franchise's first postseason berth.

The Bobcats picked up three road wins before dropping the final two games of their recent Western Conference road trip, but they fell 104-99 to New Orleans upon returning home on Saturday.

Charlotte let a seven-point, fourth-quarter lead slip away Tuesday against Washington, but Raymond Felton wouldn't let his team lose a fourth straight game. Felton, playing with a sprained right ankle, hit a fadeaway jumper with 1.9 seconds left to lift the Bobcats to a 94-92 win.

"I wasn't even thinking about my ankle at the time. I was just thinking about trying to win the game, whatever it took,'' Felton said, adding that his ankle may keep him from playing Wednesday. "But I'm paying for it now.''

While Felton copes with his injury, the Bobcats welcomed center Tyson Chandler back after he missed 22 games with a foot injury. Chandler didn't start, but he had an alley-oop dunk, hit 3 of 4 free throws and had five points and five rebounds in 10 minutes.

"I definitely wanted to come out aggressive,'' said Chandler, who was off to a disappointing start (6.6 points, 7.0 rebounds per game) in his first season with the Bobcats. "My body is right now. And when your body is right you're ready to go. ... I feel like I'm one of the most athletic bigs in the league.''

Chandler and Nazr Mohammed will have to deal with Al Jefferson in the paint on Wednesday, when the Timberwolves' big man will be looking to bounce back from a mediocre performance.

Minnesota (13-39) had won four in a row for the first time all season - three at home - before losing 119-97 in Philadelphia on Tuesday. Jefferson, the Timberwolves' leading scorer at 17.8 points per game, was held to 12, and the 76ers shot 57.5 percent while scoring 73 first-half points.

"I wish I could blame everything on the second quarter,'' Minnesota coach Kurt Rambis said of Philadelphia's 43-point outburst. "I don't think we came out and played hard from the beginning. I was disappointed with the effort overall. They played harder than us and we turned the ball over way too much.''

Minnesota fell to 2-13 when it gives the ball away 19 times or more. The Timberwolves' 16.2 turnovers per game are the most in the NBA, just ahead of the Bobcats' 15.8.

Aside from a better game from Jefferson, Minnesota could use a big effort from Kevin Love. The Timberwolves are 9-13 when he records a double-double and 4-26 when he doesn't.

They'll both be competing for rebounds with Gerald Wallace, who's heading to his first All-Star game as one of 11 players averaging a double-double (19.1 points, 10.9 boards). The Bobcats are 17-9 when he reaches double figures in both categories.

Wallace had 26 points and 10 rebounds in Charlotte's 108-100 loss at Minnesota on March 14, which snapped the Bobcats' four-game winning streak in the series.

Love had 22 points to lead the Timberwolves.

Jackson scores 33, Bobcats escape collapse against Wolves

MINNEAPOLIS (NBA.com exclusive) -- It is clear from their record that the Charlotte Bobcats like playing at home much better than on the road. Coming into this game, Charlotte was 19-6 at home but 6-19 on the road. While they notched their seventh road win tonight, defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves 93-92, they needed some help from the home team to do it.

Despite trailing by 21 in the second quarter, Minnesota overcame 16 third quarter points by Stephen Jackson and used an 18-4 run to take the lead for the first time since leading 2-0 in the early seconds of the game.

"We came out really aggressive at the beginning of the game," Tyson Chandler said. "But in the second half we got a little lax, had a few turnovers and they were able to build confidence. And when you give a young team confidence, they were able to stay in the game. They made it close."

Charlotte's coach, Larry Brown faulted not only the turnovers but also the shot selection.

"We started missing shots," Larry Brown said. "And instead of trying to get fouled, we started shooting quicker and stopped moving the ball."

Minnesota took the lead on a breakaway dunk by Ramon Sessiona with 1:32 to play and extended that lead to three after a jump hook by Jefferson with just under a minute in the game.

After a lay-up by Charlotte's Boris Diaw and a missed jump shot by Minnesota's Ryan Gomes, Minnesota still led 92-91 with the ball in Charlotte's hands and less than 10 seconds to play.

A missed jump shot by Boris Diaw seemed to seal Charlotte's fate, but Corey Brewer and Al Jefferson got tangled up under the basket and in an effort to save the ball from going out of bounds Brewer inadvertently tipped it to a wide-open Nazr Mohammed who happily converted the easy and uncontested dunk.

A missed last-second jump shot by Wayne Ellington sealed Minnesota's fate and gave Charlotte a much needed road victory. Charlotte is 13-7 in 2010, but only 1-3 in their last four games.

Stephan Jackson has scored in double figures in every game since his trade to the Bobcats on Nov 16. Tonight he hit double figures with 2.4 seconds to play in the first quarter, when he hit the Bobcats' sixth 'three' of the quarter. He finished the game with a team-high 33 points

Nazr Mohammed contributed 21 points and 20 rebounds in a strong effort against Minnesota's usually effective front court.

For Minnesota, this game was too similar to last night. Minnesota had a season-best four game win streak snapped last night in Philadelphia, a game in which Philly jumped out to a big lead in the first half and never looked back. The game tonight had a similar feel, with Charlotte building a 37-24 first quarter lead buoyed by 60 percent shooting, including 6-for-9 from beyond the arc.

This victory marks Larry Brown's 1,300th win in the NBA -- a mark only reached by Lenny Wilkins (1332) and Don Nelson (1322). Brown, however, does the math differently.

"They don't count the ABA," he said. "I got a 1,300 win ball a long time ago. ... They count the stats for the players, why not the coaches?"

A legitimate question, Larry.
