The Bobcats hope to put the brakes on an ugly, seven-game skid Sunday when they return to Charlotte for the opener of a three-game homestand against the Indiana Pacers.

The game will also serve as the backdrop for Indiana rookie Tyler Hansbrough's first professional visit to North Carolina. Hansbrough was one of the all-time great college players at the University of North Carolina, where he became the all-time leading scorer in the Tar Heels storied history and the leader of the 2009 NCAA championship team.

On the floor, the Bobcats are coming off an 0-3 road trip that finished up in Milwaukee on Friday when Brandon Jennings continued his standout rookie season with 29 points and seven assists, as the Bucks defeated Charlotte, 95-88.

Newly-acquired Stephen Jackson and Gerald Wallace poured in 22 points apiece for the Bobcats, who fell to a dismal 0-7 as the visitor this season.

Wallace also had 10 rebounds, while Flip Murray totaled 17 points, six assists and five boards. Starting center Tyson Chandler missed the game with back spasms and is questionable for Sunday's contest.

Charlotte, which is 3-2 as the host, will also face Toronto and Cleveland on its residency. The team hasn't lost eight in a row since Feb. 24-March 10, 2007.

The Pacers, meanwhile, dropped their second straight game on Friday in Indianapolis when LeBron James finished with 40 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, and made key shots down the stretch to help the Cavaliers to a 105-95 victory over Indiana.

Danny Granger had 19 points, nine rebounds and five assists to lead the Pacers, who had won five in a row before their mini-skid. Dahntay Jones had 17 points as five Indiana players finished in double figures.

A big difference in the game was free throw shooting, as the Cavaliers made 27-of-34 from the line, while the Pacers hit 15-of-21.

Indiana, which is 2-1 on the road, has won two of the past three meetings between these two clubs.
