Eric Gordon's rustiness from a three-month layoff showed up in the form of two early air balls and misses on his first four shots. Too bad for the Denver Nuggets that Gordon maintained his knack for scoring in the clutch. Gordon scored 15 points in his first action in his return, capping the performance with two free throws in the final seconds to lift the New Orleans Hornets to a 94-92 victory over the Nuggets on Wednesday night.
