CHARLOTTE, N. Isco Jersey .C. -- Al Jefferson laughed when told he finished three stitches shy of a triple-double. "I have to call my agent because Im done with my modeling career," Jefferson said. Jefferson had seven stitches in the first half to repair a gash above his right eye, but returned to finish with 19 points and 11 rebounds, helping the Bobcats overcome an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit and defeat Washington 100-94 Monday night. The win prevented the Wizards from clinching their first playoff berth since 2008. Jeffersons put back off an offensive rebound with 3:30 left in the game helped the Bobcats take the lead for good at 93-92. Kemba Walker had a big second half, finishing with 21 points and 10 assists, and rookie Cody Zeller scored a career-high 15 points on 4-of-4 shooting and added eight rebounds for Charlotte. Walker scored nine points in the final quarter and the Bobcats erased a 16-point halftime deficit and pulled within two games of the Washington in the race for the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs Both teams have eight games left and will meet again on April 9. "We made big shots and played well defensively in the second half and really came together as a team," Walker said. "It shows our resiliency. That was a big win for us." Bradley Beal had 20 points for the Wizards, who missed 11 of their last 14 shots from the field. "It (stinks) man," Washingtons Al Harrington said of not clinching a playoff spot. "Because obviously we played a great first half. We really thought tonight was our night, but to have them come out and play the way that they played and beat us -- thats tough." Washington still would have clinched a playoff spot if the Utah Jazz had defeated New York later Monday, but the Knicks won 92-83. The Wizards (38-36) came in looking to snap the third-longest playoff drought in the NBA -- and for a while it looked like they would. The Wizards shot 59 per cent in the first half, at one point hitting 10 straight shots from the field and scoring on 14 of 15 possessions to close the first half on a 30-7 run. The Bobcats could do little right in what Jefferson called an "embarrassing" first half. But he was confident they would battle back. Jefferson walked to the scorers table at the start of the third quarter and told whoever was in earshot, "Hey, watch this comeback." "Everyone looked at me like I was crazy," Jefferson said. "At the end of the game though people were pointing at me saying, You said it. You said it." Charlottes defence was the big difference. Coach Steve Clifford also went to a pick-and-roll with Walker and Jefferson. "The Wizards did a good job of taking away the post," Clifford said. The momentum turned four minutes into the fourth quarter when Walker came up with the loose ball off a Washington turnover and fed Chris Douglas-Roberts for a fast-break layup in traffic with 7:38 left in the game. Douglas-Roberts had to adjust in midair to get his body from one side of the rim to the other to avoid defenders and get the shot to drop. Douglas-Roberts made a 3-point play and then knocked down a long-distance 3 to cut the lead to one before Jeffersons put back gave the Bobcats the lead for good. Jefferson hit a 16-footer to push the lead to three. Walker followed with a backbreaker when he scored on a driving layup to make it 97-92 after a Bobcats possession that took more than a minute off the clock. Charlotte twice came up with key offensive rebounds, allowing Walker to bring the ball back out and reset the offence and milk time off the clock. "When you give a team two to three looks one time down the floor, theyre going to make one," said Wizards forward Drew Gooden. "I would say we lost the game giving them second and third possessions offensively." Jefferson left the game briefly at the end of the first quarter to head to the locker room to get the stitches above his right eye after taking an inadvertent elbow from Trevor Booker. "I had to get a shot to numb it and I hate needles," Jefferson said. NOTES: Gary Neal returned to action for the Bobcats after missing two games with an ankle injury. He had nine points ...

When New Zealand finally held on for an 8-7 win, France No. 8 Imanol Harinordoquy collapsed to the ground, having given every drop of energy he could muster, and lay prone as All Blacks danced around him in celebration. Few critics had given France any chance, but coach Marc Lievremonts team rallied from 8-0 down and came within one kick of taking the lead with 15 minutes remaining, only for flyhalf Francois Trinh-Ducs 49-meter effort to drift wide. http://www.soccerspainfansshop.com/Saul-Niguez-UEFA-European-Germany-Jersey/ ." Those traits were clear to the 24,071 at Olympic Stadium on Saturday as the Impact dominated the scoring chances but settled for a 2-2 draw with the New York Red Bulls in a battle of still-winless Major League Soccer teams.Jamie Redknapp described Manchester Citys failure to register a shot on target in the second half against Norwich as diabolical. Manuel Pellegrinis side lost further ground in the title race with a 0-0 draw at struggling Norwich, who have not won in 10 Premier League games.Neither side hit the target in the second period, and Redknapp insists that with the quality of players Man City have at their disposal, they should be performing better. Norwich prevented Man City from having a shot on target in the second half He said on Ford Football Special: Ive got to be honest, what must Manchester City fans think when they see their side perform like that. No shots on target in the second half, thats diabolical.Theyve scored 13 away goals this year and havent won back-to-back games since October. Look at the quality hes got at his disposal. Norwich 0-0 Man City Manchester Citys Premier League title bid continued to stutter I looked at Norwich, and they did really well in the end, I dont want to take anything away from them, but they were there for the taking at the start today.For Man City to be in this predicament, so far behind Leicester. Everyone has given it to Leicester, its amazing. Aguero came close twice in the first half for the visitors Pellegrini started striker Wilfried Bony up front at Carrow Road alongside Sergio Aguero, but the Ivory Coast striker did not touch the ball inside the area for the entirety of his stint befoore being replaced by Raheem Sterling on 58 minutes. Kepa Arrizabalaga Jersey. Bony has scored four goals in 19 Premier League appearances this season, and Sky Sports pundit Thierry Henry was left baffled by the 27-year-olds lack of presence in the area on Saturday.Henry said: I couldnt understand it. Theyre trying to get back in the title race and need goals for that. Pellegrini went with two strikers. Manuel Pellegrini blamed Man Citys inability to create space for the draw You should be running, breaking your neck to get into the box. Thats not good enough. Who is there to make sure that you can upset the Norwich defence?They started with two strikers for a reason. They touched the ball in the area four times, and it was all Aguero.I think its Leicesters to lose. We were saying before the game: Can Manchester City win the title? I think the question now is: Can they stay in the top four?
