 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Gerald Wallace didn't care that a win might have hurt the Charlotte Bobcats in the long run. Wallace scored 31 points and the Bobcats beat the Atlanta Hawks 101-87 on Wednesday night to set a franchise record with their 27th win, one more than last season.
Charlotte also moved a half-game ahead of the Hawks in the standings. Beating a fellow lottery-bound team may mean fewer chances for the third-year Bobcats to get the No. 1 overall pick in the draft.
"I don't pay any attention to the draft," Wallace said. "Once April 19 comes and I see were not in the playoffs, I don't think about basketball anymore. ... I go watch my kids play baseball."
