Not coincidentally, he got to the rim rather than settle for jump shots; two of those four field goals were a layup and an alley-oop dunk.</p> </p> Emeka Okafor is making his free throws all of a sudden. He was 7-of-9 Tuesday. The coaching staff is placing added emphasis on foul-shooting in practices and shootarounds. -- <font color="#000000">Charlotte Observer</font></p></div></div>
