The New Orleans Hornet defeated the Phoenix Suns by 120 to 103 on Wednesday night and put their three game losing streak to an end. Chris Paul was the star performer for the Hornets as he got 25 points in the match with 15 assists and 3 steals. Paul said that he was happy to see his side winning the game and hoped that his team will play with the same mentality in all the upcoming matches. Ironically, this is the second time that the Hornets have beaten the Phoenix Suns after slumping to a three game defeat this season. The Hornets forward David West, who scored 27 points, felt that the Sun guards were not able to keep up to the speed of the Hornet’s guards.

The Phoenix Suns are always in the receiving end when they play against the Hornets and the New Orleans Hornet had a shot percentage of 53% that enabled them to end their three match losing streak. Phoenix Suns are in a dire situation as well as they have lost three of their last five games since trading Shawn Marion for Shaquille O’Neal. The newly acquired player, Bonzi Wells could not play for the Hornet’s as he was nursing a bruised Achilles’ tendon.
