CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Gerald Wallace broke out of his shooting slump with 31 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, helping the Charlotte Bobcats to the most lopsided victory in team history, 116-81 over the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night.

Stephen Jackson added 23 points for Charlotte, which dominated the listless Raptors. The sixth-year Bobcats' previous biggest win was a 32-point rout of Indiana on Nov. 16, 2005.

While Wallace entered as the NBA's third-leading rebounder, he was shooting 38 percent from the field and averaging only 13.7 points. But he took advantage of one of the NBA's worst defenses by beating numerous defenders off the dribble.

Chris Bosh had 18 points and 14 rebounds, and Andrea Bargnani scored 15 for the Raptors.
