CHARLOTTE, N. L. P. Ladouceur Jersey .C. -- D.J. Augustin says he has no hard feelings when it comes to the Charlotte Bobcats -- even though they let him walk in free agency after the 2012 season. "Just a business," Augustin said with a smile. He sure took care of business Saturday night. Augustin played like a man with something prove, breaking open a close game by scoring 15 of his 28 points in the fourth quarter to help the Chicago Bulls hold off the Charlotte Bobcats 89-87 and get back above .500. The Bulls (22-21) have won 10 of their last 13 games. Augustin hit 4 of 5 shots from the field in the fourth quarter, including three 3-pointers. It was the third time in the last four games Augustin has scored at least 27 points. Augustin was drafted by the Bobcats in 2008 and spent four seasons in Charlotte before the Bobcats decided to go with Kemba Walker as their starting point guard. "Its always fun playing against your old team," Augustin said. "Im with the Bulls now and that is all that matters." Augustin spent time with Indiana and Toronto last season before joining the Bulls this past off-season. Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau called the 6-foot Augustin a "huge pickup." "We had a need and he had a need as well," Thibodeau said. "It was good for him and its been great for us and hes played better and better. He was ready when this opportunity came around. Its not only his individual performance, but what hes doing for our team." Joakim Noah added 11 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists for the Bulls, who have won 10 of their last 11 against the Bobcats. Taj Gibson had 13 points and seven rebounds, while Mike Dunleavy had 12 points and eight rebounds. Al Jefferson continued his hot play for the Bobcats (19-27) with 32 points and 13 rebounds. It was his ninth straight 20-point game. "Nobody is playing better than Al over the last eight or nine games," Bobcats coach Steve Clifford said. Jefferson said the discomfort from the ankle he sprained in the preseason is starting to subside. "At the beginning of the season I wasnt healthy," Jefferson said. "My ankle is feeling really good and Im not surprised how Im playing. I know I can play at a very high level when Im 100 per cent." But the Bobcats arent getting much production from other positions with Walker still out with an ankle injury. The starting frontcourt of Ramon Sessions and Gerald Henderson was a combined 9 of 26 from the field. "They double-teamed me and did a good job of keeping the ball out of my hands. So tonight, Kemba would have been needed," Jefferson said. "But its an opportunity for some other guys to step up and make a name for themselves." Chicago came in having defeated the Bobcats by an average of 27.5 points in the last four meetings in Charlotte, but this one was close throughout the first three quarters with 14 lead changes and neither team leading by more than six points. The Bulls were up 55-54 going into the final period and quickly extended that lead to 11 sparked by eight quick points from Augustin and six from Tony Snell. The lead would get to 12 before a frantic Bobcats comeback in the final minute, with Jannero Pargo knocking down a 26-footer with 3.4 seconds left to cut the lead to three. But Augustin made two free throws to seal the win. Jefferson hit a one-handed heave from just beyond half court as time expired, although it wouldnt matter. Chicago surrendered 112 point to the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night -- the second-most theyve allowed this season -- but the leagues second-best defence returned to form against the Bobcats. They held Charlotte to 42 per cent shooting after allowing the Clippers to beat them with 59.3 per cent shooting. "We get knocked down but we always get back up and keep fighting," Augustin said. "That is the motto of our team." NOTES: Walker missed his fourth straight game with an ankle injury. ... Carlos Boozer has scored in double digits in nine straight games for the Bulls. ... Sessions had 11 assists for the Bobcats. ... The Bobcats had been outrebounded by 22 in the first two meetings, but held a 45-41 edge on the boards this time. Maliek Collins Jersey .

First-half goals by Will Bruin and Oscar Boniek Garcia sucked the life out of the Impact as the Houston Dynamo bounced them from Major League Soccers post-season with a 3-0 victory on Thursday.OTTAWA - Curtis Lazar doesnt need to score goals to make an impact.Lazar didnt pick up a single point in Canadas 5-2 win over Sweden Sunday night in World Junior exhibition play, but there was no denying his impact.The 19-year-old Lazar — the oldest player on the roster by a matter of days — is on loan from the Ottawa Senators for the tournament. Having NHL experience means big things are expected from him both on and off the ice.After three months in the NHL I think hes seen a lot and hes seen many older guys in the NHL doing certain things, said Canadas coach Benoit Groulx. You can tell maturity speaks in his case.Lazar joined the team late Friday, but Groulx says he has already made an impact.Hes loud on the bench, said Groulx. He likes to communicate with his teammates, likes to cheer for them, likes to tell them about positioning and stuff like that. It comes naturally for him obviously and a good hockey club needs that.Canada looked good Sunday night, getting goals from five different skaters.Max Domi, Josh Morrissey, Anthony Duclair, Shea Theodore and Sam Reinhart scored for Canada while Eric Comrie made 17 saves.Gustav Forsling and William Nylander had goals for Sweden, which got a 28-save performance from Samuel Ward.This was Canadas first game since finalizing its roster for the IIHF World Junior Championship on Saturday. The tournament gets underway Dec. 26 with Canada taking on Slovakia in Montreal.The game also marked Connor McDavids first taste of action since he suffered a broken bone in his right hand on Nov. 11. It was Lazars first game since being loaned to the team.The duo played together with Nick Ritchie and while they didnt score, they did create a number of solid scoring chances.Much was made of McDavids return to action. While the 17-year-old showed some signs of rust, Groulx noted that he improved as the game went on.He showed some good things out there, showed speed and he went by a couple of defencemen to take pucks to the net, said Groulx. I think he had a great second half of the game and its good to see him back playing his style after such a long time being sidelined. Jason Witten Jersey. McDavid said he felt pretty good and felt he and his linemates were able to create some good chances.It was nice, said McDavid. You never really want to be off and watching. Its never a lot of fun. To be back in game action was a lot of fun.The trio of Domi, Duclair and Reinhart continue to display chemistry and were once again dangerous around the net as they combined for six points, including three goals.Its a short tournament and it gets going pretty quick so the sooner you can find (chemistry) the better it is, said Domi. For our line personally, were really close off the ice and do a lot of things together and we talk about certain plays in practice and we just keep working on that stuff.Leading 3-1 to start the third, Canada extended its lead on Theodores goal at the six-minute mark of the final period. Theodore picked up his own rebound and beat Ward glove side.Reinhart rounded out his lines scoring as he picked up a power-play goal midway through the period, beating Ward short side under the arm.Nylander, a Leafs prospect, made it 5-2 as he beat Comrie on a penalty shot late in the third period.After a strong start to the game, Canada didnt have a great second period, registering just three shots on goal.Sweden made it a 2-1 game early in the second on Forslings power-play goal, but Canada regained its two goal-lead on a goal by Duclair, who is on loan from the New York Rangers.Swedish coach Rikard Gronborg says getting the opportunity to play Canada is always a good test.We know we have a lot to learn and we definitely have to chip away on some stuff, said Gronborg. Definitely in the defensive zone we need to do better in front of our own net and thats stuff well focus on over the next couple days.Canada opened the scoring with a power-play goal two minutes into the first period as Domi banged home a rebound at the side of the net. Morrissey made it 2-0 midway through the period with a shot from the point.Canada plays its final exhibition game Tuesday against Switzerland.
