Antawn Jamison added 17 to lead the Washington Wizards over the
Charlotte Bobcats 100-84 in a pre-season game Tuesday night.

outrebounded Charlotte 48-39, leading to 15 second-chance points.
Gerald Wallace scored 17 points for the Bobcats (0-4), and
Raymond Felton added 13 points and eight assists.
Andray Blatche hit a jumper in the final minute of the third
quarter to put Washington up 72-70 and the Wizards scored the first
eight points of the fourth.
A dunk by Ryan Hollins brought the Bobcats within three with six
minutes remaining, but they couldn't get any closer.
The game, played at the University of North Carolina, was a
homecoming for Felton, Charlotte's Sean May, Jamison and
Washington's Brendan Haywood. Felton and May helped lead the Tar
Heels to the 2005 national championship, and Jamison reached two
Final Fours and was national player of the year at UNC in 1998.
Haywood also played on two Final Four teams for the Heels.
