New Orleans Hornets Buzz On Wednesday, February 9, the New Orleans Hornets fell to the downtrodden New Jersey Nets 103-101 in OT. The loss extended the Hornets losing streak to a season-long four games. However, Hornets F David West had one of his greatest games in the NBA. As a Hornets fan since the team moved to New Orleans, I certainly cannot remember many better games for West. In fact, it was one of only five games in West's NBA career in which he scored at least 30 points and grabbed at least 15 boards.
