The Hornets look like a new team with Chris Paul back.  They really played great defense as they held the Rockets to 37.2% from the floor and they outrebounded the Rockets 49-36!  Devin Brown led the way on offense for the Hornets with 18 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.  Chris Paul only hit 4 of 12 shots from the floor, but he still wound up with a solid game.  Paul scored 12 points, grabbed 4 rebounds, dished out 9 assists and stole the ball 4 times.

The Hornets improved to 21-26 on the season last night.  http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=270203010
