This was an exciting game from start to finish.  Both teams shot well (N.O. 50.6%,  G.S. 51.3%), but the Hornets lost this game despite out-rebounding the Warriors 45-30….kinda strange.  Chris Paul led the way, as always, with 34 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals.  Peja Stojakovic had a decent game with 18 points and 7 rebounds.  David West was very good last night too with 20 points and 6 rebounds.  Desmond Mason chipped in with 16 points.  Tyson Chandler only scored 4 points, but he was a demon on the boards with 11 rebounds.  Bobby Jackson provided good energy off of the bench with 12 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

You can’t win them all, but I’m sure that the Hornets are satisfied with their 4-1 start to the season.
