NEW ORLEANS -- Hornets fans grew restless as guard Eric Gordon sat out much of the early season rehabilitating his injured knee.

 

A New Year's Day appearance at New Orleans Arena was met with a mixture of cheers as well as jeers.

 

But Gordon may be turning those dissenters into fans, proving he may just be worth the Hornets nearly $60 million investment.

 

Gordon scored 24 points, including six consecutive in a critical fourth quarter run, to lead the Hornets to a 95-88 victory over San Antonio on Monday night.

 

"That's one of the key things I do best when it comes to late-game situations or if anything gets tough," Gordon said. "I like to take guys one on one and I'm able to get a shot off and get a good shot. I look forward to that.

 

"I love those situations," he said.

 

Anthony Davis added 17 points, Greivis Vasquez 14 and Ryan Anderson 13 for the Hornets, who have won two consecutive games for the first time since Nov. 2-3, the second and third games of the season.

 

New Orleans, which snapped a six-game losing streak against San Antonio, has also won three of the four games in which Davis has played since his return in a 98-95 victory at Charlotte on Dec. 29. He sat out a 104-92 loss at Houston on Jan. 2.

 

The Hornets have held their opponents to less than 100 points in each of their nine wins.
