Amid the boos that cascaded around Oracle Arena towards Stephen Jackson, the former Golden State Warriors star did not disappoint.

In his first appearance back at Oracle since being traded to the Charlotte Bobcats on November 16, Jackson scored 30 points and the Bobcats defeated the Warriors 121-110.

Jackson went 12-for-22 from the field, including 3-for-6 from beyond the three-point arc drew jeers from the crowd from the opening introductions to the end of the game.

First time Bobcats All-Star forward Gerald Wallace also scored 30 points, as the Bobcats won just their fifth road of the season.

Corey Maggette scored 25 points to lead the Warriors, who have lost three consecutive games and now head out on the road to face the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday before heading to Dallas and Houston to end the trip.
