New Orleans Hornets Hot

Two supposedly disgruntled all-stars squared off in New Orleans tonight. Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets and Carmelo Anthony of the Denver Nuggets, who both were rumored to want out of their current teams during the offseason, took to the hardwood in both teams' second game of the season. The Hornets edged the Nuggets 101-95 at "The Hive" in New Orleans. Although it was an "average" game for the Hornets' point guard, he was the leading scorer for the team with 18 points. He also added seven assists and seven rebounds on the evening. Anthony was the leading scorer for the Nuggets. He posted a double-double on the stat sheet for the visitors with 24 points and 10 rebounds. Although some news outlets report that Anthony is ready to leave Denver, the future for both superstars is uncertain. All that is known at this point is that the New Orleans Hornets are 2-0 after taking down two playoff teams to start the season at home.
