CHARLOTTE, N. cheap nfl jerseys .C. -- Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap talked throughout the off-season about changing the culture in the organization and building a winning atmosphere in Charlotte. Apparently his players were listening. Reserve Ramon Sessions scored 21 points and the Bobcats beat the winless Washington Wizards 92-76 Tuesday night to win back-to-back games for the first time since last December and even their record at 3-3. "Any time in this league when you can get any type of win streak it is good," Sessions said. "Definitely for a young team like us trying to build things, I think thats a big plus. You know its one of those games where you sit in the locker room (before the game) and you say, Hey, we should go out there and get this one," and thats what good teams do. That just shows you the progress that were making." Said Dunlap: "That is just the NBA game. Players gain confidence with victories." With Ben Gordon a late scratch due to a family emergency, Sessions picked up the slack and provided a much-needed boost off the bench for the Bobcats. Coming off a career-high 25 points against Dallas on Saturday night, rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was strong again, chipping in with 15 points and eight rebounds before leaving in the fourth quarter to ice down a sore back. He said afterward he got hit in the back, but added "Im fine." Kemba Walker battled inconsistent shooting and finished with 17 points for the Bobcats. It marked the first time the Bobcats have won two straight since taking the final game of the 2010-11 season and the first of last season. The victory was especially sweet for Walker, who went through an entire rookie season without winning back-to-back games. "You know, to get this win was huge and it gives us momentum, gives us confidence going into that game tomorrow against a good Minnesota team," Walker said. Trevor Ariza scored 19 points for the Wizards, who fell to 0-6. He was the only Washington player to finish in double digits in scoring. The Bobcats (3-3) limited the Wizards to 29.8-per cent shooting and outscored them 46-24 in the paint. Most of those came on drives to the hole by Walker, Kidd-Gilchrist and Sessions, who were a combined 15 of 18 from foul line. "Coach Dunlap emphasized getting to the rim and getting foul shots," Sessions said. "You know we try to do that. At times it may not look like it but thats our game, getting to the rim and shooting threes." Wizards coach Randy Wittman said his team lacked aggressiveness on defence, particularly in the paint, but attributed that to the teams apathetic play on the offensive end of the floor. "When you stand around and watch a guy dribble and dribble and dribble and take a bad shot, it takes away that affect (on defence)," Wittman said. Rookie Bradley Beal said he felt like the Wizards "gave up" down the stretch. "We cant lose focus and today we werent focused," said Beal, who was 1 of 11 shooting from the floor. "We came in lackadaisical, like we were 5-0 instead of 0-5. We didnt come in with the edge that we usually do." Washington, still playing without John Wall and Nene, could never get closer than seven points in the second half after trailing by 13 at halftime. The Wizards connected on just 5 of 31 3-point attempts and had no flow whatsoever on offence. The Bobcats took a 52-39 lead into halftime after outscoring the Wizards 30-12 in the paint. Kidd-Gilchrist picked up where he left off Saturday night, driving aggressively to the hole in the early going. The No. 2 pick in the draft had 12 points at halftime on 5-of-8 shooting to go with five rebounds. Sessions had 11 points at the break. Charlottes aggressive defence gave the Wizards fits. Washington turned the ball over 17 times, leading to 19 Bobcats points. Brendan Haywood had a solid eight points and 11 rebounds, while reserve Tyrus Thomas chipped in with 10 points and six rebounds for the Bobcats. Charlotte won just seven games last season and finished with the worst winning percentage (.106) in league history. But this years team is playing with hustle and heart and seems to have gained more confidence after beating Dallas on Saturday night to snap a 16-game losing streak against the Mavericks. NOTES: It took the Bobcats 13 games last season to win three games. Once they won their third game in 2011-12 they went on to lose 16 straight. ...

That didnt matter to the teams that picked them Wednesday during the final rounds of the Major League Baseball draft. Taylor, an outfielder from the University of Georgia, was a 33rd-round pick of the Texas Rangers, while Lamothe, a reliever from San Jacinto College, was the Houston Astros 40th-round selection. Taylor was left paralyzed from the chest down after he broke his neck in March during a game when he collided with teammate Zach Cone, the Rangers supplemental-round pick Monday. Texas director of amateur scouting Kip Fagg said the teams selection of Taylor was "something we felt was right." "We would have drafted him either way, regardless of any other circumstances involving his injury or Zachs draft status," Fagg said. "Our area scout in Georgia, Ryan Coe, has had a relationship with Johnathan since he was a high school player. The club has always liked his passion and ability as a player." Taylor hit .335 last year as a sophomore for the Bulldogs, and was hitting .182 with two RBIs in 11 games at the time of his injury. Fagg added that he and a few other Texas officials visited Cone during "the course of normal pre-draft activity" and gave him a Rangers jersey to give to Taylor that was signed by the entire Rangers team. "This was truly a classy move and a great gesture on the part of the Texas Rangers organization," Georgia coach David Perno said. "J.T. is definitely a player worthy of getting drafted. Hes been a big part of our program, and we are all very excited for him. When I talked to him after he got the call, he was in the middle of his rehabilitation work, laughing and having a good time and was thrilled to be drafted." Taylor was injured March 6 against Florida State and has been undergoing outpatient treatment at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta. He also attended a pair of Georgia games since his accident. "Were all very proud of him," said Tandra Taylor, Jonathans mother. "Its just amazing, and when he got the call, his face lit up and we were all very excited. Cheap NFL Jerseys China. It was awesome news." Cone, taken by the Rangers with the 37th overall selection, was thrilled the team also took his injured buddy. "I was pumped up when the Rangers told me they were thinking about drafting J.T., and then I got a call saying that they had drafted him," Cone said. "I was already planning on going over to see him and now we can talk about the Rangers. This made my day. Its just awesome, and Im so happy for him." Lamothe, in his first season at San Jacinto, was injured last month in a diving accident in San Marcos, Texas. The hard-throwing right-hander from Lyndonville, Vt., was 0-2 with a 0.77 earned-run average and 28 strikeouts in 23 1-3 innings pitched. According to an update on a website dedicated to him, the 20-year-old Lamothe is undergoing inpatient rehabilitation in Houston, with the hope hell be released for outpatient therapy in the next few weeks. A total of 1,530 players were selected during the three-day draft, with rounds 31-50 held via conference call Wednesday. Three big league managers saw their sons get taken by their own teams in the later rounds, including Oaklands Bob Geren (Brett, in the 42nd round), the Los Angeles Angels Mike Scioscia (Matthew, 45th round) and Torontos John Farrell (Shane, 46th round). The Blue Jays also took Jacob Wakamatsu, the son of bench coach Don Wakamatsu, in the 48th round. Philadelphia general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. drafted his nephew, Andrew, in the 47th round. St. Louis took Liberty catcher Casey Rasmus, the brother of outfielder Colby Rasmus, in the 36th round. The sons of former major leaguers Bobby Bonilla, Alex Fernandez and Charlie Leibrandt were also among the players whose names were called Wednesday. Pitchers were the most commonly picked players this year with 793, including 575 right-handers. Every state except Maine was represented, and 61 foreign-born players were taken, led by 33 from Canada. Vanderbilt University had the most college players drafted with 12, including first-rounder Sonny Gray. Pittsburgh took UCLA right-hander Gerrit Cole with the No. 1 overall pick Monday night. ' ' '
