CHARLOTTE - Gerald Wallace had 24 points and a career-high 20 rebounds and the Charlotte Bobcats held the New Jersey Nets without a point for more than 10 minutes in rallying for a 79-68 victory last night.
The Nets' ineptitude allowed Charlotte to go on a 24-0 run bridging the third and fourth quarters, wiping out the Bobcats' poor offensive start. D.J. Augustin added 21 points in Raja Bell's return from a wrist injury.
The Nets dropped to 0-4 thanks to a brutal stretch where they lost Yi Jianlian to a sprained right knee and went nearly 111/2 minutes without a field goal.
