Unlikely hero saves Nets after Jeremy Lin goes out with injury

The Nets celebrate on the court after Randy Foye's game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer Monday in a 120-118 victory over the Hornets

It was backup point guard — and forgotten man — Randy Foye who won Monday night’s game with an off-balance 3-point prayer as the buzzer sounded, a 120-118 Nets’ victory over the Bobcats at Barclays Center.

The game also saw starting point guard Jeremy Lin hobble off with yet another hamstring injury.

After holding the ball and a four-point lead in the final minute, Brooklyn’s Sean Kilpatrick missed a floater and Charlotte’s Nicolas Batum (24 points) drill a 3-pointer with 32.
