NEWARK, N.J., Nov. 3 (UPI) -- D.J. Augustin hit two free throws to give Charlotte the lead with 30.9 seconds left and then grabbed a rebound to give the Bobcats an 85-83 win over New Jersey.
It was the first win of the season in four attempts for the Bobcats, who got 24 points from Boris Diaw and 20 from Gerald Wallace.
Charlotte trailed by 10 points midway through the final period, but went on a 14-2 run to take the lead.
The two free throws by Augustin were the final points of the game. New Jersey then had four cracks at a game-tying basket but Devin Harris, Travis Outlaw, Brook Lopez and Outlaw again all missed shots in the final 26 seconds.
After Outlaw's miss with 5 seconds remaining, Augustin finally captured a rebound for the Nets. Austin scored just five points, but had seven assists and six rebounds.
Harris scored 19 for the Nets, six of which came during a 13-2 run early in the fourth quarter that briefly put New Jersey in front.
