Apr. 16: Bobcats 115, Sixers 109

The AP reports: Jason Richardson scored 29 points and the Charlotte Bobcats recovered from blowing a big lead to beat Philadelphia 115-109 on Wednesday night, sending the 76ers to the playoffs on a four-game losing streak… Willie Green scored 27 points and Andre Iguodala scored 24 for Philadelphia. They were the only starters to play more than 24 minutes… Richardson was 3-of-7 on 3-pointers to finish with 243 this season, the fourth-most in NBA history. But it was one of few bright spots for the Bobcats, with first-year coach Sam Vincent facing an uncertain future after Charlotte’s fourth straight season out of the playoffs. Emeka Okafor added 24 points and nine rebounds in his final game before becoming a restricted free agent for the Bobcats, who finished 32-50.
