It was a win over a 17-32 basketball team, but Sunday night's win over Minnesota was one of the Hornets better wins this season.
The Hornets overcame much: David West was ejected late in the second quarter after a flagrant two foul on Minnesota's Mike Miller. The Hornets were also outrebounded by 13. New Orleans made only 3 of 15 three point field goals. Peja was oh for 6 from three point land.
The Hornets got a huge contribution from Sean Marks. He played his best game as a Hornet, scoring 18 points in 24 minutes. His ability to step out and make jump shots, and take the ball hard to the basket was a huge asset for an undermanned Hornets club.
