    " Charlotte Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap didn't ration the praise Saturday night in describing how backup point guard Ramon Sessions affects his team.

    Dunlap called Sessions "fearless'' offensively, then added, "He settles us down. He's just so confident on the floor and he makes his free throws.''

    Sessions was all that in the fourth quarter and overtime of a 101-97 victory over the Dallas Mavericks. He made four plays in the game's last 5 1/2 minutes – two drives to the rim, a lob pass to forward Byron Mullens and a pair of free throws – that were essential to this 15-point comeback.

    Sessions seemed a fairly commonplace free-agent signing this summer, but he's been key to a respectable 2-3 start. Signing him and trading for guard Ben Gordon were about finding veterans who aren't afraid to decide a game down the stretch.

    "I don't really think about it,'' Sessions said of game-deciding pressure. "It's just part of the game: I'm going to take the shot if it's there and the (pass) if it's not. I think if you start thinking about it, it wears on you. If you think, 'Oh man, only five seconds left!'"
