WASHINGTON, Feb. 23 (UPI) -- DeShawn Stevenson scored 20 points and sank two key three-pointers in the fourth period Saturday to lead the Washington Wizards past Charlotte 110-95.

All-star Antawn Jamison led the winners with 22 points, nine rebounds and five assists. Brendan Haywood had 15 points, seven rebounds and a career-high five assists.

Andray Blatche registered 13 points and eight rebounds while Antonio Daniels added 10 points for the Wizards, who have won just twice in their last 12 games.

They trailed 52-51 at the half but built an 84-71 lead in the fourth.
