The Bobcats extended their club record skid by allowing Minnesota to shoot 58 percent from the field in the second half. Love scored 10 points in a game- changing third quarter, while Pekovic scored 15 after halftime to help snap a four-game losing streak. "We lost four games in a row, so it was really important for us [to win]," Pekovic said. Kemba Walker paced Charlotte with 21 points, while Corey Maggette netted 18 in yet another losing effort. The Bobcats led by as many as nine in the first quarter and held a 48-46 halftime lead before falling apart late in the third. Tied at 66 following a D.J. Augustin layup, Ricky Rubio made a jumper to begin a quarter-ending run of 10 unanswered points for Minnesota. J.J. Barea drained a three-pointer during the run, then hit another from behind the arc five minutes into the fourth to extend the difference to 89-70. Minnesota led by double figures the rest of the way. "We missed too many layups in the first half," Bobcats head coach Paul Silas said. "In the second half we stopped pushing it and started jacking it up."

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season. In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
