CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)\u2014Gerald Henderson<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> scored the final seven points,
\nincluding the go-ahead jumper with 22 seconds left, and the short-handed
\nCharlotte Bobcats<\/a> staged an unlikely comeback to beat the mistake-prone
\nMilwaukee Bucks<\/a> 87-86 on Monday night.<\/p>\n

Starting with no available centers before losing their top two point guards
\nto injuries, the Bobcats remained in playoff contention after Brandon Jennings<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span>
\nmissed two layups and a 3-pointer in the final 15 seconds that would have put
\nthe Bucks ahead.<\/p>\n

Stephen Jackson<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> scored 18 points for the Bobcats, who held Milwaukee
\nscoreless over the final 3:52.<\/p>\n

Jennings and Andrew Bogut<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> had 26 points apiece for the Bucks, who lost their
\nsecond straight and continued an alarming trend of blowing fourth-quarter leads.<\/p>\n

This one may have been the most head-scratching of all.<\/p>\n

At the end, the Bobcats had power forward Boris Diaw<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> playing center, small
\nforward Jackson at power forward and Garrett Temple<\/a>(notes)<\/a>,<\/span> who was in the NBA
\nDevelopment League earlier this month, running the offense.<\/p>\n

And they still somehow won to remain one game behind Indiana for the Eastern
\nConference\u2019s final playoff spot. The Bucks fell three games behind the Pacers.<\/p>\n

The Bobcats got within 86-85 on Henderson\u2019s jumper with 52 seconds left.
\nAfter Bogut missed a contested layup, Henderson drilled a turnaround from the
\nright wing to put Charlotte ahead 87-86.<\/p>\n

Jennings then missed a wide-open driving layup before Henderson grabbed a
\nrebound in a wild scramble and called timeout from the floor. But Jennings then
\nstole Diaw\u2019s inbounds pass before missing another layup in traffic.<\/p>\n

The Bucks, who held a 46-37 rebounding edge, grabbed the loose ball and
\nJennings missed a 3 from the left corner. Carlos Delfino<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> then grabbed
\nMilwaukee\u2019s 17th offensive rebound, but his tip bounced off the rim as time
\nexpired.<\/p>\n

It was another stirring win for the Bobcats, who appeared out of the playoff
\nrace following a 23-point loss to Indiana last week, Since then, Charlotte has
\nknocked off Boston, New York and Milwaukee.<\/p>\n

Starting point guard D.J. Augustin<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> left with a sprained left ankle and
\nbackup Shaun Livingston<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> was lost to a bruised lower spine in just over a minute
\nspan early in the fourth quarter. The last man standing was Temple, who was
\nsigned for the remainder of the season Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Henderson, who moved into the starting lineup when Gerald Wallace<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> was traded
\nlast month, scored 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting for the Bobcats, who had little
\nto work with inside.<\/p>\n

Starting center Kwame Brown<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> left the team Monday afternoon to be with his
\nill daughter in Georgia. With Joel Przybilla<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> (knee) and DeSagana Diop<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> (Achilles\u2019
\ntendon) already sidelined and Nazr Mohammed<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> traded to Oklahoma City last month,
\nthe Bobcats had no centers left.<\/p>\n

Power forward Tyrus Thomas<\/a>(notes)<\/a>,<\/span> returning after missing two games with bruised
\nribs, started in the middle and was ineffective. Bogut had 18 points in the
\nfirst quarter and 26 as the Bucks were up 72-65 entering the third quarter in
\nthe season debut of former All-Star Michael Redd<\/a>(notes)<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

When John Salmons<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> picked up two quick fouls, Redd replaced him with 9:54
\nleft in the first quarter in his first appearance in 14 months following his
\nsecond major left knee injury.<\/p>\n

Playing without a knee brace, Redd had two stints in each half. He didn\u2019t
\nscore, missing all three shots while dishing out four assists in 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

Notes: Bobcats coach Paul Silas wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Przybilla, out
\nsince March 9, misses the rest of the season. \u2026 Skiles said before the game
\nit\u2019s been frustrating for all not finding a go-to guy in the clutch. \u201cWe\u2019ve had
\na hard time establishing a hierarchy of where we\u2019re going to go for key plays,\u201d
\nhe said. \u201cOur futility late in games has definitely bothered guys.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
