New Orleans snaps two game skid with solid performance over Charlotte.

Teams have physically handled the Hornets on their current four game road trip. Tonight in Salt Lake City, the Hornets face the most physical team in the NBA.

New Orleans went into Monday's game with the best record in the NBA. They were stung by the team with the worst record in the league.

Despite shooting a season worst 32% from the field, the Hornets improved to 11-1, beating the Kings in Sacramento Sunday night 75-71.

Hornets improve to 10-1 overall after beating the Cavs. David West scored a season-high 34 points to go with 11 rebounds and 3 blocks.

While Chris Paul took the Hornets first loss hard, he most hard on himself. CP3 picked up his fourth foul early in the third quarter. "You can't do nothing on the bench. That's my fault. I felt like the fouls were here or there, that's my fault, I can't expect the refs to not call it."

David West and Marco Belinelli each scored 18 points Saturday night and the Hornets improved to 8-0, beating the Portland Trail Blazers 107-87. The Hornets have held all of their opponents this season under 100 points. This was the third straight time New Orleans allowed fewer than 90 points.

Sometimes you know what you're going to get. Other times, you think you're reeling in a brim, when you have a decent sized trout on the end of the line. Jason Smith has been a great find for the New Orleans Hornets this season.
