Hornets suffer 1st loss of season
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 17 - 11 - 2010

DALLAS: The Dallas Mavericks handed the New Orleans Hornets their first loss of the NBA season Monday, winning 98-95 with Jason Terry scoring 26 points, including the go-ahead jumper in the final minute.
New Orleans, which had been off to a franchise-best 8-0 start, got 22 points from Chris Paul, but only two came in the second half.
Dirk Nowitzki had 25 points and 10 rebounds to help the Mavericks stretch their winning streak to four games.
Peja Stojakovic added 17 points and Emeka Okafor pulled down 14 rebounds for New Orleans.
Thunder 115, Jazz 108: In Salt Lake City, Oklahoma City ended Utah's five-game winning streak, led by Kevin Durant's 30 points.
Serge Ibaka and Russell Westbrook added 22 apiece for the Thunder who trailed by 12 points as Utah's Deron Williams hit his first six shots. Williams finished with 31 points and 11 assists.
Oklahoma City made 33 of 34 from the free throw line, including 10 straight in the fourth quarter to seal the victory. The Jazz pulled within three points with 12 seconds left, but Durant made four straight free throws to end it.
Magic 89, Grizzlies 72: In Orlando, the hosts smothered Memphis defensively, holding the Grizzlies to their lowest score in two seasons.
Dwight Howard had 18 points and 14 rebounds and Vince Carter scored 19 points for Orlando, which built a 16-point lead, lost it, then went back ahead by 17 points in the fourth quarter to put away the game.
They held the high-scoring Grizzlies – who came into the game averaging 104 points per game – to 36 percent shooting. Marc Gasol had 14 points and eight rebounds in the Grizzlies' third straight loss.
Suns 100, Nuggets 94: In Phoenix, the hosts overcome a 15-point, first-half deficit to beat Denver for the 12th straight time at home.
Hakim Warrick scored 21 points to lead a balanced attack for the Suns, who had a rough night from 3-point range, making just 4 of 20 after nearly breaking the NBA record with 22 in a win over the Lakers the day before. Phoenix also had a sloppy first half (at both ends), making up for it by putting six players in double figures. Steve Nash had 15 points and seven assists. Carmelo Anthony had 20 points and 22 rebounds for Denver.
Warriors 101, Pistons 97: In Oakland, Golden State remained undefeated at home despite losing nearly all of a 32-point, first-half advantage against Detroit.
Monta Ellis scored 24 of his 27 points in the first half and Stephen Curry added 21 points as the Warriors improved to 5-0 at home; their best start since winning their first six of the 1990-91 season.
Bobcats 113, Timberwolves 110: In Charlotte, Gerald Wallace set a franchise record with 17 free throws made as Charlotte rallied to beat Minnesota.
Nets 110, Clippers 96: In Los Angeles, New Jersey overcame the second-quarter ejection of leading scorer Devin Harris to hand Los Angeles its sixth straight loss.
