I hope this doesn't mean that I am a jinx for Paul. Portland was winless until last night when they beat the Hornets 93 - 90. This was the Hornets' first back to back games of the season. The Hornets only scored 15 points in the third quarter which put them behind in a deficit they could not overcome. Late in the game the Hornets started to come back but they could not score at the right time and Portland made free throws.
After making a team record 10 three pointers the night before, Peja Stojakovic, could only muster 5 points in this game. David West had a great game for the Hornets scoring 34 points and getting 18 rebounds. Chris Paul added another 18 points. At 4-1, the Hornets are still one of the best in the NBA and are on pace to make the playoffs this year for the first time in many years. The playoffs are where the games really count. The regular season is just a warm up practice session until the playoff season begins. Hopefully they'll win the next time. They just can't get so far behind and expect to come back to win. Still though, it was another stellar performance by CP3.
