03/17/2010 - Charlotte, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Stephen Jackson came up with 20 points, five assists and added five rebounds, as Charlotte put a stop to Oklahoma City's five-game win streak with a 100-92 triumph.
Stephen Graham tied a career-high with 19 points -- set on Tuesday -- and Raymond Felton scored 17 with seven assists for the Bobcats, who had a season- high six-game winning streak cut short Tuesday in Indiana.
Boris Diaw chipped in 13 points and Tyrus Thomas 11 with nine boards. Bobcats star forward Gerald Wallace missed a third straight game with an ankle injury.
Kevin Durant recorded 26 points and 10 boards for Oklahoma City, which experienced just its fourth loss in the last 21 games overall.
Jeff Green put in 17 points, while Russell Westbrook and Nick Collison each added 15 points. Westbrook handed out 10 assists as well.
The Thunder were ahead 26-15 after 12 minutes of play and stretched their lead to 16 early in the second and held a 51-32 advantage with 2 1/2 minutes left following a Westbrook jumper. The Bobcats closed on an 11-0 run to make it a 51-43 affair at halftime.
The Bobcats clawed all the way back to a 61-61 tie on Graham's layup halfway through the third and finished the period on a 10-5 run to grab a 73-70 edge going to the fourth.
The hosts continued to hold down a slight edge, but Durant put in a pair of baskets and Westbrook a layup to make it a one-point game, 84-83, with 5 1/2 minutes to play.
Jackson drained a three-ball moments later, and Thomas threw down an alley-oop slam off a Diaw feed with 3:14 left for a six-point difference. The Thunder failed to execute down the stretch and got just two more field goals the rest of the way, as Charlotte built its lead back to double digits.

American Idol Betting Odds: Season 6
The online gambling websites are in the process of deciphering each American Idol contestant and his or her chances of winning Season 6 to come up with the early American Idol betting lines.
Tim Dalton of MySportsbook.com has been locked away in a soundproof room coming up with all the latest tallies, we are told. "American Idol has become one of the most significant betting events of the year," claims Jack Black of MySportsbook.com. "Last year, millions were bet during the season across the globe, not just in America.It's tough early on since we really do not have a glimpse as to how well each of these individuals will perform solo on a week-to-week basis. It's like Week 1 of the NFL. Pre-season means nada!
We do know the 24 finalists however.
Sanjaya Malakar is the young man whose sister failed to make it into the Top 24. He's very low key but - unless he totally flubs - will probably win over the young girlie vote for a few weeks anyway. He's too young to go all the way, according to Payton O'Brien.
Brandon Rogers - Who?
Phil Stacy is the military guy who missed his daughter's birth because of the Memphis audition. He should go a good distance.
Chris Sligh - He's got the humor and in many ways he's the Anti-American Idol much like last year's winner Taylor Hicks was. And this is why he'll probably get pretty far in this competition. He's chubby, white with a big curly afro....but more importantly, a great voice! People love "real", not "real cute" to go all the way.
"Blake Lewis should go far because of his uniqueness and looks. He's the boy next store with a twist - he beat boxes. But on top of this, he's a great singer, and I adore him," Payton O'Brien relayed.
A talented beat-boxer Blake Lewis was a hit during the group sing in Hollywood but Simon explained that this is a singing contest just before he told him he was “in.”
Paul Kim has caught our own roving reporter, Jenny Woo's eyes.
"I love the fact that there is a Korean American on the show and he is bound to get more Asians tuning into the show," Woo said from her Miami Beach estate. "There has never been a major presence of Asian-Americans on American Idol in the past. He's a hottie with a nice voice so that should help to take him far. Expect heavy betting action from the Asian community."
Sundance Head - He's not perfect, but he's got the personality that will take him through a few weeks, plus he's got the lineage (son of Roy Head - whose 1965 single, "Treat Her Right," hit No. 5 in the charts)
And the others:
Rudy Cardinas
AJ Tabaldo - the 5th time is the charm
Nicolas Pedro
Chris Richardson
Jared Cotter
The girls
"Melinda Doolittle has one of the best voices," says MySportsbook.com Reporter and an acclaimed dancer in her own right, Destiney Lewis. "It is great to see a back up singer step out like she has. The girl needs to gain more confidence but that can also be a positive. I think she will go far."
Alena Alexander - Those tears (she never seems to stop bawling) should get her far.
"Single mom Lakisha Jones I suspect will be a pretty big favorite entering Week 1 of the competition," says Destiny Williams. Jones is an excellent singer and down to earth. "She'll have a wide appeal," echoed O'Brien.
Nicole Trellis - Seems to exert confidence.
Amy Krebs - a powerful singer.
Antonella Barba
Gina Glocksen
Hailey Scanardo
Jordan Sparks
Stephanie Edwards
Leslie Hunt
Sabrina Sloan
