CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Things were going so well for Paul Silas in the first half that coaches around the NBA may have been considering going on their own five-year hiatuses.

 

The Charlotte Bobcats had gone from stagnant on offense to collecting fast-break layups. New combinations worked perfectly. Bench warmers became key contributors. Confidence was in abundance.

 

Soon, reality set in that these Bobcats still have flaws. But in the end they did just enough to give Silas his first win as interim coach.

 

D.J. Augustin scored 27 points, Stephen Jackson added 23 and the new-look, uptempo Bobcats held on to beat the Detroit Pistons 105-100 on Monday night in their first game since Larry Brown was fired.

 

"I just think it was a good beginning," said Silas, who hadn't coached since getting fired by Cleveland in 2005. "I'm so happy we pulled this one out because if we hadn't it would have been a problem."

 

Inheriting a team that had lost four straight, the Bobcats built a 23-point lead before nearly wasting it all to a team with its own problems.
