 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Kobe Bryant walked slowly into the locker room, sighed and stopped instead of continuing to his locker to meet reporters. "I don't want to have to walk all the way over there," Bryant said. Bryant was exhausted. His 58 points in 55 minutes were offset by two key errors in the third overtime, and the Charlotte Bobcats outlasted the Los Angeles Lakers 133-124 on Friday night.
"I don't want to have to do that," Bryant said of his big scoring night. "It's too tiring."
Bryant spoiled the third-highest point total of his career by committing a foul on Derek Anderson's 3-point attempt with 1:14 left. Anderson hit all three free throws to give Charlotte a 129-124 lead.
