The Hornets really played great defense as they held the Magic to 34.9% shooting from the floor and that helped them win this game.  Jannero Pargo had a great game off the bench and led the Hornets in scoring with 25 points.  Desmond Mason didn’t shoot well (6 of 18) but he still wound up with 21 points and 9 rebounds.  Rasual Butler also had a great game with 19 points and 11 rebounds.

The Hornets improved to 15-22 on the season with this win.  http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=270116003
