AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- The Charlotte Bobcats are hoping to fight off several teams for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

 

They took a step in the right direction on Wednesday night.

 

Stephen Jackson scored a season-high 39 points to lead the Bobcats, playing their sixth straight road game, to a 97-87 win over the shorthanded Detroit Pistons.

 

"This is a big, big win considering we're going back home for three tough games," Charlotte coach Paul Silas said. "We really needed this one."

 

Jackson, a former Pacer still hated at the Palace for his role in the Ron Artest brawl with Detroit fans in 2004, enjoyed the give-and-take with the fans. At one point, he mimed crying after hitting a key 3-pointer.

 

"People don't understand that when you boo me, I play better," he said. "People still remember that incident, and I hate that it happened, but I'm just having fun. I love hecklers."
