Gerald Wallace led a furious comeback in the fourth quarter and took charge in overtime, finishing with 36 points and giving the host Charlotte Bobcats a 107-103 win over the Indiana Pacers on Monday.

Charlotte snapped a four-game losing streak by rallying from a 13-point deficit with under 6 minutes left in regulation behind a series of spectacular plays from Wallace.

Wallace had two three-point plays late in regulation. He then hit two 3-pointers in OT and 4 straight free throws in the final 22 seconds.

Wallace scored 20 points in the fourth quarter and overtime. He also had 8 rebounds and 4 steals.

Jason Richardson added 28 points for the Bobcats, who sent the slumping Pacers to their fourth straight loss. Jermaine O'Neal had 20 points and 13 rebounds for Indiana.
