(AP) -- Two former WPDE Mister Hoop Zone winners squared off in Charlotte last night. Ex-Latta High star Raymond Felton scored 16 points dishing out eight assists for the Bobcats in a 108-95 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Myrtle Beach High product Ramon Sessions scored 14 points with five assists for the Timberwolves.
Stephen Jackson shook off a sore hand and busted out of his shooting slump with 37 points to lead the Bobcats and sent the reeling Timberwolves to their 14th straight loss. Jackson, who a night earlier revealed he had been plagued by a bruised ligament near his left index finger, hit 15-of-24 shots after shooting 37 percent in the previous 10 games.
Gerald Wallace added 23 points as the Bobcats shot 54 percent from the field and moved into sixth place in the Eastern Conference with their sixth straight home win. Al Jefferson scored 21 points for the Timberwolves, who came apart in a 20-0 Charlotte run in the second quarter to drop to 5-32 on the road.
