 Jackson struggled in that game, shooting 6 of 20 and committing six turnovers. But he had his shooting stroke against the Rockets as the Bobcats won for the fifth time in six games. His 3-pointer, fadeaway and two free throws in a 13-2 run to start the fourth quarter put Charlotte ahead 87-81 with 5:50 left.

 Trevor Ariza scored 19 points and Luis Scola added 18 points and 14 rebounds for the Rockets, who had won seven straight against Charlotte.

 Shane Battier and Chase Budinger hit 3s on consecutive possessions to put Houston ahead 51-38 midway through the second quarter.
 Aaron Brooks had 11 points and six assists for Houston, but was just 3 of 14 from the field as the Rockets lost their fifth straight road game.
