CHARLOTTE — Kobe Bryant shrugged off a scoreless first half to finish with 20 points, eight assists and seven rebounds and the Los Angeles Lakers overcome a 20-point second-half deficit to beat the Charlotte Bobcats 100-93 Friday night.

Bryant attempted two shots in the first half and didn’t come out for warm-ups to start the second half.

But he provided the jolt the Lakers needed in the third quarter and scored 14 points in the final period, including a driving layup with 40 seconds left to push the lead to five.

Byron Mullens and Gerald Henderson each had 20 points for the Bobcats, who have lost six straight.

Also, the Bobcats and Nets have had discussions about a trade of shooting guard Ben Gordon for power forward Kris Humphries, The Charlotte Observer said two NBA sources confirmed.
