Gerald Wallace had 17 points, 19 rebounds and got two opponents to foul out in overtime to help the Charlotte Bobcats set a club record for victories in the NBA last night with a 95-86 win over the Washington Wizards.
The win was Number 36 of the season for Charlotte, one more than the previous high set last season, and moved the team a step closer to the first playoff berth in its history.
At Auburn Hills, Danny Granger scored 32 points as the Indiana Pacers ended a nine-game road losing streak by beating Detroit Pistons 98-83.
Detroit were officially eliminated from the playoff race with the loss, ending an eight-year streak of postseason appearances.
Other winners last night were New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks.
