ADVERTISEMENT
Published: October 31, 2009
Bobcats 102, Knicks 100 (2 OT): D.J. Augustin made two free throws with 2.5 seconds left in the second overtime and Charlotte recovered from blowing an 18-point, fourth-quarter lead for a win over visiting New York last night.
The Bobcats persevered to win an ugly game between teams coming off blowout losses in their openers.
After Chris Duhon's tying layup with 7.7 seconds left, Augustin was fouled by Al Harrington on a drive to the basket. Augustin had missed two free throws 16 seconds earlier, but this time calmly sank both.
Danilo Gallinari's desperation half-court shot at the buzzer didn't hit the rim, spoiling their spirited comeback.
