Game On: Hornets @ Pistons
The Hornets conclude their Mardi Gras road trip, hoping to end it with a winning record after starting off with a victory against Atlanta, followed by a loss last night at Toronto.

Stars Disappear in Toronto as Hornets Fall to Raptors
This summer the Hornets handed Eric Gordon, the centerpiece of the Chris Paul trade 58 million dollars and took Anthony Davis with the #1 overall pick, hoping that those two would provide the franchise with a championship foundation. Tonight, those two couldn’t even help the Hornets stay competitive with the woeful Raptors. Combined, Davis and Gordon […]

Hornets clamp down in third, clip Hawks
Vasquez posted the first triple double of his career as he and Eric Gordon pumped in 48 points from the backcourt.

Game On: Hornets @ Jazz
Keys to Victory 1. Control the Defensive Boards The Jazz front line does a fantastic job of getting their guards more shots to miss by crashing the offensive glass on every possession.

Second Unit Lays an Egg as Hornets Fall to Lakers
The NBATV’s Fan Choice Game of the Week had plenty of star power on display. From Kobe, Dwight, Nash, and Pau Gasol on the Lakers to Eric Gordon and the #1 pick Anthony Davis for New Orleans, there were no shortage of potential game changers.

Game On: Hornets @ Lakers
Back on December 5th, the Lakers came into New Orleans and handled the Hornets rather easily, winning 103-87. A lot has changed since then.

Game On: Rockets @ Hornets
The Rockets are sliding. Will the Pelinets grease the skids? Much like the the Spurs on Wednesday night, it feels like the Hornets have seen a lot of these Houston Rockets. This game will mark the end of the season series between Houston and New Orleans, and the Rockets currently hold a 2-1 advantage, though […]

Spurs pick and then roll Hornets
In the first half, neither team was really stopping the other. Vasquez was finding the roll man or Eric Gordon was drilling every shot he put up. On the flip side, Tony Parker tore the Lopez-Vasquez pick and roll defense to pieces. Again and again, Parker would get into space and pull back, Lopez would […]
