Hornets resume important trip with bout against Warriors
Basketball Betting Lines
03/17/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New Orleans Hornets resume a five-game road trip in
Oakland tonight, aiming for a season sweep of the woeful Golden State Warriors.
New Orleans has already topped the Warriors three times this season and will
be aiming for its first sweep of Golden State since 2001-02.
The Hornets improved to 1-1 on their trek Monday in Los Angeles, where rookie
Marcus Thornton hit a pair of three-pointers during a big New Orleans run in
the fourth quarter and the Hornets pulled away late to beat the Clippers,
108-100.
David West led all scorers with 24 points, while rookie Darren Collison
continued his solid play with 18 points and 14 assists for the Hornets, who
have won 13 straight against the Clippers. Morris Peterson and Thornton each
netted 17 points to help New Orleans break its seven-game road losing streak.
"I'm happy for our players to get the win," said Hornets coach Jeff Bower. "It
was a tight game until the fourth quarter."
Despite the win, New Orleans is a miserable 8-14 since losing All-Star Chris
Paul to a knee injury and is now an almost insurmountable 7 1/2 games behind
Portland for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference with just 14
left to be played.
The Warriors, meanwhile, lost for the seventh time in eight contests on
Monday, when Kobe Bryant scored 29 points and the Los Angeles Lakers held on
for a 124-121 win over Golden State, their ninth straight win over the
Warriors.
Stephen Curry ended with 29 points and nine rebounds for the Warriors, who are
a dismal 5-20 in their last 25 games and have the second-worst record in the
West
Chris Hunter had a career-best 22 points, but Monta Ellis struggled in a big
way for Golden State, going 5-of-23 from the field in a 13-point effort.
"I'm a shooter," Ellis said. "I'm a shooter until coach [Don Nelson] tells me
not to shoot anymore."
