CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 5 (UPI) -- J.R. Smith's jumper with 2 seconds remaining Wednesday ended a late New York surge and gave the Knicks a 100-98 victory over Charlotte.
A layup by Michael Kidd-Gilchrist put the Bobcats in front 98-92 with 3:58 to play, but they did not score another point. Charlotte missed three shots and turned the ball over three times the rest of the way.
An errant pass by Gerald Henderson was stolen by New York's Raymond Felton with 15 seconds to go, giving the Knicks a chance at the final shot.
Smith came through with the last of his 13 points off the bench to bring New York its fourth consecutive victory. Charlotte has lost five in a row.
