Raymond Felton felt good about beating his former team. Now he's getting ready to do it again.

Felton will return to Charlotte on Wednesday night with the New York Knicks, who are looking for their first five-game win streak in five seasons along with a home-and-home sweep of the Bobcats.

The point guard signed a two-year deal in the offseason with New York (7-8) after spending his first five seasons with Charlotte (5-9). He's adjusted well to playing for coach Mike D'Antoni, averaging career highs of 17.4 points and 7.6 assists.

Felton turned in a solid effort with 16 points and nine assists in New York's 110-107 home victory over Charlotte on Tuesday. He made two free throws with 2.1 seconds left for the final margin.

"It's a good feeling, no question about that, it's a good feeling," said Felton, a popular figure in North Carolina for helping the Tar Heels win the 2005 NCAA title.

Felton's replacement with the Bobcats, D.J. Augustin, led all scorers with 24 points. Coach Larry Brown, though, had nothing but praise for Felton afterward.

"He's great. I think what he brought to our team is something you can't replace," Brown said. "He plays hard every day, plays hurt, practices hard, he's a great teammate and I'm thrilled for him. I think it's worked out good for everybody. D.J.'s gotten an opportunity and he's played well."

The Knicks have not won five straight since a six-game run Jan. 2-13, 2006. This run comes on the heels of a six-game slide in which new power forward Amare Stoudemire criticized the team's effort.

"It's great, it lets you know we're getting our confidence, especially down the stretch. So we've just got to continue to keep that confidence high," Stoudemire said. "A night like tonight, guys stepped up big in the fourth, which was big for us because I got in a little foul trouble out there, and they stepped up. So we've got to go to Charlotte and try to do it again."

Gerald Wallace scored 20 points and Stephen Jackson added 18. Jackson, who complained to the officials throughout the night, missed a desperation 3-pointer as time expired.

"A lot of stuff didn't go the way I wanted tonight, but I'm not going to touch on that," Jackson said. "It was a tough play, a long shot. I didn't get my feet into it. It is what it is, the life of Stephen Jackson."

The Knicks shot 52.1 percent, becoming the first Charlotte opponent to make half of its shots since Dallas connected on 54.7 percent in the Bobcats' season opener. Charlotte trailed by 14 entering the fourth quarter.

"We just started playing harder," Augustin said. "We've got to do that at the beginning of the game. If we played harder, it would have never gotten to that point. We should've fought harder."

Knicks forward Danilo Gallinari has made 43 straight free throws, and can break the franchise record of 44 set by Chris Duhon in 2008.

The home team has won the last six meetings, with the Knicks losing their last three at Charlotte.

Felton scores 23, Knicks beat Bobcats 99-95

CHARLOTTE, N.C.(AP) From the joking with former teammates to the friendly pregame introduction and the small city of friends and family on hand, Raymond Felton was in the spotlight all night in his first game back in Charlotte.

Then the Bobcats lost track of him when it mattered most.

Felton had 23 points and 13 assists, but it was his decision to sneak into the lane on a free-throw attempt and rip the rebound away from a surprised Tyrus Thomas in the closing seconds that helped preserve the New York Knicks' 99-95 victory on Wednesday night.

It came seconds after Amare Stoudemire's big block of Stephen Jackson, the kind of clutch plays the Knicks were hoping for when they signed the duo in the offseason. After a 3-8 start, the Knicks have won five straight, and Felton relished a home-and-home sweep of the team that didn't try to re-sign him in the offseason.

"It was very emotional, man," Felton said. "It's good to win and be back at home."

With New York leading by two, Felton's rebound of Landry Fields' miss led to Danilo Gallinari's clinching free throws with 5 seconds left as the Knicks reached .500 and secured their longest winning streak since the 2005-06 season.

"Nobody really thought to box me out because I never went in to rebound anytime on a free throw," Felton said. "I took it as an opportunity."

Stoudemire added 20 points and six blocks, including rejecting a driving Jackson with 35 seconds left and New York clinging to a 96-95 lead.

"I saw him coming, so he was going to try me," Stoudemire said. "He normally goes up strong, but I was able to time it perfectly."

Wilson Chandler scored 21 points for New York, which had lost six straight before its current, confidence-boosting surge.

"Winning five straight feels great," Stoudemire said. "But being 8-8 and .500 is something that we've got to improve on. We still have a lot of work to do."

Getting his first start in a small lineup ahead of the struggling Nazr Mohammed, Thomas had 26 points and 11 rebounds and spearheaded Charlotte's comeback from 14 points down in the third quarter.

Thomas' three-point play with 1:29 left put Charlotte ahead, but Stoudemire's two free throws 10 seconds later put New York up to stay.

"We play like a bunch of strangers," Bobcats coach Larry Brown said. "No ball movement, too many guys standing around. When you have to fight uphill all the time, you have to play perfect at the end. But this team doesn't quit."

Jackson scored 18 points, but was 7 of 20 from the field and the Bobcats got another subpar game from Gerald Wallace, who as held to eight points on 4-of-10 shooting and didn't talk to reporters after the game.

Felton's replacement, D.J. Augustin, had 14 points, eight rebounds and seven assists.

"We're fighting hard at the end, but you've got to have that same attitude at the beginning of the game," Augustin said.

Felton's first game back in Charlotte since the Bobcats didn't try to re-sign him in the offseason was a sweet one. He hit 9-of-18 shots and overcame six turnovers to deliver the Knicks their second win over Charlotte in two nights.

A self-proclaimed "country boy" from tiny Latta, S.C., Felton won a national championship at North Carolina and was the fifth overall pick of the Bobcats in 2005. But after his fifth season ended with him being dominated by Orlando's Jameer Nelson in the playoffs, the Bobcats didn't offer him a contract.

Charlotte's salary-cap situation - owner Michael Jordan desperately wanted to get under the luxury tax threshold - played a major role in Felton leaving the Carolinas for the first time in his life.

"It wasn't really about me not doing my job," Felton said before the game.

Felton said he "stopped counting" after securing 100 tickets for family and friends. His mother, father and young son sat courtside.

Introduced first with the Knicks, Felton received polite applause.

"I wasn't a bad guy when I was here," Felton said, smiling. "It was very warming to my heart to hear the crowd do that. I still love the fans of Charlotte."

Notes: Gallinari missed his first free throw of the night, ending his streak of 43 straight, one shy of Chris Duhon's team record. ... Mohammed didn't play after starting the previous 14 games. Brown said it was because of matchups. ... A banged-up Ronny Turiaf was held to 17 minutes for New York. ... Brown is a big fan of second-round pick Fields, who is starting for the Knicks. "I almost went to Stanford, so for four years he's been my favorite," Brown said. ... Brown hopes Knicks president Donnie Walsh sticks around as he recovers from hip-replacement surgery. "Donnie is as good as anybody we have in our league," Brown said.

THE FACTS: Raymond Felton led the Knicks with 23 points and 13 assists in his return to Charlotte as New York emerged with a 99-95 win over the Bobcats and a sweep of their home-and-home series.

QUOTABLE: "Someone needs to do a study to see how many times someone goes up 10 and then it comes back and goes even. It just happens. I'm glad that we're the ones going up and not having to fight back."

-- Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni on his team's recent penchant of building a double-digit lead only to have to sweat out the outcome at the end of the game.

THE STAT: New York went on a 19-6 run in a 6:18 period that spanned the first and second quarters to take the lead. The Knicks scored five 3-pointers in that span and finished the game 12-for-25 from behind the arc. It was the fourth straight game in which they made double-digit 3-point shots and the seventh time in 16 games this season they tallied 10 or more in a game.

TURNING POINT: After Charlotte went on a 28-13 run to take the lead, the Knicks held the Bobcats scoreless over the final 1:29 of the game. The Knicks did not hit a bucket in this stretch either, but hit five from the line to win.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: Tyrus Thomas was the big story with his 26 points and 11 rebounds. Amar'e Stoudemire had 20 points and six blocks, including a crucial rejection at the end of the game. Landry Fields grabbed 10 rebounds.

THE STAT II: The Knicks blocked 11 shots in the game. After being 29th in the league in blocked shots the past two seasons, New York entered the night leading the league with 115 blocks and an average of 7.67 blocks per game.

QUOTABLE II: "The good news is that we have a five-game winning streak. The bad news is that we're .500. Let's be real and try to get a win on Saturday."

-- D'Antoni summing up the Knicks, who have their first five-game winning streak under D'Antoni and the latest they have been .500 since they were 8-8 in 2008-09.

NOTABLE: Danilo Gallinari missed his first free throw attempt of the game, ending a streak of 43 consecutive makes from the charity stripe. Gallinari was one away from tying the franchise record of 44, set by Chris Duhon in the 2008-09 season.

UP NEXT: For the Knicks, Saturday vs. Hawks, Sunday @ Pistons, Tuesday vs. Nets. For the Bobcats, Friday vs. Rockets, Saturday @ Bucks, Wednesday @ Hornets.
