MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Nazr Mohammed's dunk with 5.3 seconds left led the Charlotte Bobcats to a 93-92 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night.
Minnesota outscored Charlotte 22-13 in the fourth quarter and took a three-point lead with less than a minute to play. But after Boris Diaw missed a shot with less than 10 seconds left and the Bobcats trailing by a point, Timberwolves forward Corey Brewer saved the ball under his own basket. The ball caromed off Al Jefferson and into the hands of Mohammed, who slammed the ball for the winning points.
Stephen Jackson tied a season high with four 3-pointers and finished with 33 points, while Mohammed had 21 points and a season-high 20 rebounds.
Al Jefferson scored 19 points for Minnesota.
