CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 12 (UPI) -- Point guard Raymond Felton had 26 points and six assists Wednesday to help Charlotte rally past the Los Angeles Clippers 108-103.

Charlotte won the contest despite a 55-43 halftime deficit.

The Bobcats used a 36-17 third period to grab a 79-75 advantage heading into the fourth period, and a five-point spurt by Gerald Wallace (layup and three-pointer) put them in front for good.

Wallace finished with 25 points, six rebounds and three assists.

Emeka Okafor had 25 points and 16 rebounds, while Jeff McInnis and Jason Richardson scored eight points apiece for the Bobcats, who got their second straight victory following a seven-game losing streak.

Los Angeles got Corey Maggette's 23 points and four rebounds.

Chris Kaman had 17 points and 13 rebounds, while Tim Thomas and Dan Dickau both scored 16 points for the Clippers, who lost to Charlotte for the first time in seven all-time meetings.

Thomas' three-pointer gave the Clippers an 89-88 lead with 5:59 left.
