Last night, Portland played the New Orleans Hornets at the Rose Garden. New Orleans had a 16 point lead at the beggining but trailed at half by 2. In the third quarter New Orleans hit three quick three's causing Nate McMillian to use a timeout. Portland held New Orleans and went on a 15 to 4 run while L.A. go hot! Fourth quarter was close and Portland had the lead with 4 mins. left, however the Blazers didn't score the rest of the game except for a free throw. With 3.8 seconds left Chris Paul hit a foul line jumper to win the game 98-97 over the Blazers. Portland had a chance to score after that with their best driver to the hoop since they don't have B. Roy right now so they put the spot on Jerryd Bayless. There was great deffense by the Hornets so he had to settle for a mid range jumper. He missed but he should have got foul shots. Portland played a good game until the final 4 mins in regulation. Juwan Howard had 16 points and L.A. had around 22 points.
