Art Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Key Hornet Stats:Eric Gordon has scored over 20 points in five of his six career games in Phoenix. In these six games, Gordon is averaging 22.3 (134/6) points and is shooting 41.0% (16/39) from three-point range.The Hornets have scored at least 100 points in each of the last 15 games they have played against the Suns (dating back to December 15, 2007). During this span, they are averaging 108.0 (1620/15) points per game and are shooting 44.1% (128/290) from three-point range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreusito Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 NO CP3 - no problem. I don't see how the Hornets can in any way keep up if we play high tempo like we used to do. I don't know without VC and Pietrus who they're gonna play though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Nice spin move from Kaman out of the post. Too bad he ended up too deep underneath the basket to really be able to turn it in to anything other than a kickout to Ariza. Suns bench has been terrific in this game. 34 points from the Suns 2nd unit, led by Lopez's 15/7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Unlucky break for the Hornets. Looked like Ariza was there in time to draw the charge on Lopez. Instead, they called a block and Lopez gets the And 1. I like how the Hornets have been sharing the scoring load, but they really have struggled a bit in half court situations during the past 7 minutes or so that I have watched. With Jack out of the lineup due to a suspension, their lack of a point guard is really showing through. Gordon is doing his best trying to run the offense, but it just isn't in his nature. Their offense has basically consisted of players taking turns isolating their man and trying to create for themselves. EDIT: And just as I say that, the Hornets show some fantastic ball movement that led to a hook in the lane for Landry. Very nice possession for the Hornets there.

Built Ford Tough Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Huge jumper from Gordon with 4 seconds left to give the Hornets the 1 point lead. Nice job of backing Dudley off and then rising up and sticking the jumper. His mid range jumper has been wet this game. He is 9-11 from inside the 3 point line and 0-6 from behind it.

Built Ford Tough Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Nice play from Gentry, but you have to question having Morris be the one to try and make that cross court pass to Nash after Lopez set a solid screen to free him up. Gordon did a great job of preventing Nash from getting the ball, but you have to think that the play would've been better if it had been Grant Hill who was throwing the pass instead of Morris. A very nice win for the Hornets, though. Nice to see Gordon hit the game winner in his Hornet debut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
