 CHICAGO (AP) - Emeka Okafor scored 21 points and had 16 rebounds and Gerald Wallace added 21 points to help the Charlotte Bobcats beat the injury-depleted Chicago Bulls 90-77 on Friday night.
Chicago played without its top two scorers, Ben Gordon (wrist) and Luol Deng (Achilles' tendinitis).
The Bobcats used a 15-4 run late in the fourth quarter to pull away. Leading 68-64, Okafor started the run for Charlotte with a three-point play and Wallace extended the lead to 83-68 on a jumper. Okafor shot 10-for-13 and blocked four shots, including a highlight block on rookie Joakim Noah in the first half.
