The Hornets were missing two of their starting players (Tyson Chandler and David West) but their young replacements had key roles in the victory.

Chris Paul had a great game leading the offense with 20 points, 3 rebounds and 13 assists.  Rookie Hilton Armstrong had a great game and made the game-winning free-throw.  He also missed the second free-throw and got the rebounds to seal the deal.  Armstrong scored 17 points and grabbed 9 rebounds in his first NBA start.  Peja Stojakovic looked tired after his big game the other night and he scored 14 points.  Brandon Bass also got the start and he played well with 12 points & 7 rebounds.  Bobby Jackson had a good game off of the bench with 11 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.

The Hornets out-rebounded the Pistons 44-35, but their defense was a little soft allowing the Pistons to hit 52.1% of their shots from the floor.  The Hornets improved to 6-3 after their huge road win.

Peja Stojakovic was on fire last night with 42 points and 8 rebounds.  Peja was unstoppable as he was hitting shots all over the court.  Bobby Jackson (14 points) and Jennero Pargo (13 points) both helped out of the bench and the Hornets really needed them last night.  Chris Paul had a bad shooting night (0 for 8 from the floor) and only scored 2 points.  Paul did have 10 assists and 3 steals so he helped out without scoring alot last night.  Tyson Chandler only scored 2 points, but he grabbed 15 rebounds and lost a couple teeth in the 4th quarter.

The Hornets have improved to 5-3 this season, and won without their best player producing last night…and that’s a step in the right direction for the Hornets.

The Hornets just looked flat in the game against the Clippers last night.  Chris Paul (20 points), Bobby Jackson (12 points) & Peja Stojakovic (11 points) were the only Hornets players that scored in double figures.  Tyson Chandler came to play with 8 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocked shots.

The Hornets fell to 4-3 after the lackluster effort that put out last night.

Tyson Chandler was acquired in a trade with the Chicago Bulls.  Chandler will bring defense and rebounding to the center position for the Hornets.  Chandler has averaged 7.1 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game over his career.

Hilton Armstrong, one of the Hornets first round picks this season, is a shot-blocking defensive player that needs work on offense.  His energy will help the team off of the bench.
