Kobe Bryant drew two technical fouls in a span of 29 seconds late in the fourth quarter and was ejected from the team's 108-95 loss to the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday night, the Associated Press is reporting.

Jason Richardson and Raymond Felton were both listed as questionable before the game with the flu but recovered and were instrumental in the victory. Richardson had 34 points and 10 rebounds; Felton added 13 points and 10 assists.

The Houston Rockets extended their historic win streak to 21 games on Friday night with a victory over the Charlotte Bobcats.

Tracy McGrady led all scorers with 30 points and added 7 rebounds to his stat line. The Bobcats held a seven-point lead over the Rockets at the half.

Jason Richardson had 28 points and 8 rebounds and Emeka Okafor added 23 points and 9 boards for Charlotte, but they couldn't withstand Houston's second half charge.

The Rockets will look to extend their streak in the coming week with games against the Lakers, Celtics, Hornets, Warriors and Suns.

Bobcats head coach Sam Vincent was asked on Thursday how he'd grade his performance in his first year of head coaching, according to the Charlotte Observer.

Vincent reportedly gave himself a "C", claiming that his goal is to work up to a "B" before the end of the season.

Gerald Wallace is hoping to return to the court for the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday, according to the Associated Press.

He has been sidelined for two weeks since being knocked unconscious by an elbow and returned to practice for the first time on Monday.

"I talked with the coaching staff, and I think my career at [power forward] is done," Wallace said. "It takes a toll on your body, mentally and physically. This last injury, banging with the guys that are heavier than me. I think I'd just rather stick to guys my size."

Gerald Wallace is expected to participate in full-contact practices with the Bobcats this week, according to the Associated Press.

He has been sidelined since Feb. 22 when he was knocked unconscious during a game. The team hopes he might be able to play against the Mavericks on Wednesday.

"He's been working out, and he's been on the floor. Did some up-and-down running, got a little winded," Charlotte Coach Sam Vincent said. "But he's feeling pretty comfortable that by the Dallas game he should at least be good enough to be able to get on the floor a little bit."

Gerald Wallace may practice with the Charlotte Bobcats soon, according to the Charlotte Observer.

He doesn't remember anything about the elbow that gave him his most recent concussion, but he knows it not good.

"The main thing is to get my conditioning up," Wallace said. "Push me as hard as they can to see if I get headaches."

Jason Richardson was disappointed at being traded away from the Golden State Warriors, but he did get some revenge on Wednesday night when he dropped 42 on his former teammates as the Bobcats got the win, 118-109, the Associated Press is reporting.

"I think the first time we faced them, being back in Oakland and seeing all the fans, the No. 23 jerseys, I think I was just overhyped," Richardson said of his 2-for-9 shooting performance in the Bobcats' 31-point loss.

"This time I was more relaxed and in a much more settled environment. I just wanted to go out there and try to get the win."

Playing in Charlotte for the first time since he was traded earlier this offseason, Raptors center Primoz Brezec is still upset with Bobcats coach Sam Vincent, according to the Associated Press.

"I've been in this league for seven years. People know what I can do," Brezec told the AP. "Sam Vincent didn't know what he got."

"I have no problem with Sam Vincent. I was just frustrated that he said that he didn't get 12 or 13 points from me that he needed," Brezec added. "Of course he didn't get it because I didn't get the ball. Come on."

"If you look at the teams back in the day, I got buckets, I got stops, I got rebounds. Don't talk about me if you don't know my game."
