CHARLOTTE, North Carolina — Gerald Wallace had 24 points and 20 rebounds and the Charlotte Bobcats held the New Jersey Nets without a point for more than 10 minutes during a 79-68 victory on Monday.
The Nets’ ineptitude allowed Charlotte to go on a 24-0 run bridging the third and fourth quarters in the longest scoring drought in the NBA in nearly four years. D.J. Augustin added 21 points for the Bobcats.
In one brutal stretch, the Nets lost Yi Jianlian to a sprained right knee and went nearly 11½ minutes without a field goal. The Nets went 0-for-11 from the field with nine turnovers before Chris Douglas-Roberts’ three-point play.
Knicks 117, Hornets 111
At New York, David Lee scored a season-high 28 points as New York earned its first victory of the season.
Chris Duhon finished with 18 points and nine assists for the Knicks, who lost three straight and were off to their worst start since dropping their first five games in 2005-06. But they played from ahead this time after facing huge deficits in their previous games, then pulled away midway through the fourth quarter.
Rockets 113, Jazz 96
At Salt Lake City, rookie Chase Budinger scored a career-high 17 points and was one of eight Houston players to score in double figures.
The Rockets pulled away with a 13-0 run early in the fourth quarter.
Aaron Brooks had 19 points and nine assists and Luis Scola added 14 points and 15 rebounds for the Rockets, who made eight of their first 12 shots in the fourth quarter to blow open a three-point game.
Kings 127, Grizzlies 116, OT
At Sacramento, Kevin Martin scored 48 points and Beno Udrih hit a game-tying layup in the closing seconds of regulation to lift Sacramento in overtime in its home opener.
After starting the season with three straight losses on the road, the Kings came through late to delight a rare sellout crowd in Sacramento.
Clippers 93, Timberwolves 90
At Los Angeles, Chris Kaman had 25 points and 11 rebounds and Eric Gordon hit the go-ahead layup with 1:32 to play as Los Angeles surged in the fourth quarter to its first victory of the season.
Gordon scored 17 points and Baron Davis had 13 points and eight assists for the Clippers, who ended a three-game home losing streak to the Timberwolves.
Rasual Butler hit four free throws in the final 19 seconds for Los Angeles, and Corey Brewer badly missed a well-guarded 3-point attempt at the buzzer.
Al Jefferson scored 24 points and Brewer had 14 for Minnesota.
