 LOS ANGELES (AP) - This time, Charlotte needed only one overtime to beat the Los Angeles Lakers. Matt Carroll scored 24 points, Emeka Okafor had 20 points and 18 rebounds, and the Bobcats won 106-97 Friday night for their third consecutive victory over Los Angeles.
Kobe Bryant led the Lakers with 32 points, becoming at 28 years and 156 days the youngest player in NBA history to reach 18,000 points. Wilt Chamberlain did so at 28 years and 166 days, followed by Michael Jordan at 28 years and 359 days.
"It's always special," Bryant said. "Things like that really don't sink in until the end of your career."
