CHARLOTTE, N.C. - With 2.7 seconds left in the second overtime and the game tied, an exhausted Lance Stephenson looked at Steve Clifford and said, Cmon Coach, draw me up a play.So Clifford did.Stephenson inbounded the ball to Marvin Williams, got it back off a handoff and knocked down a 33-foot jumper off the glass at the buzzer to lift the Charlotte Hornets to a 122-119 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night.Stephenson, who played 47 minutes, celebrated by racing to the scorers table and leaping on top. He started pounding his chest as the teal and purple-clad crowd went wild.Stephenson said hes hit shots to tie games before but had never hit a game-winner at any level of basketball.For me to hit that big shot, there was a lot of emotion that came out, Stephenson said. I got real hyped.When asked if he called bank, Stephenson laughed and said, I cant hit a swish yet, so I tried to throw it off the backboard and it went in.Stephenson registered his first double-double with the Hornets, finishing with 17 points and 13 rebounds.I havent made a shot all season long, said Stephenson, who shot 26.7 per cent in his first five games with his new team.

I think it may have been case where Kyle set a good screen. Thats part of the game. Calls go against you. I obviously dont agree with it.It was an exhausting, physical game that took its toll in the players.Jefferson said he was thankful Stephenson hit the shot when he did, saying he didnt think he could have played another five-minute overtime period.Lance is as tough as nails, those New York guys, Jefferson said.
