Hornets fans grew restless as guard Eric Gordon sat out much of the early season rehabilitating his injured knee. A New Year's Day appearance at New Orleans Arena was met with a mixture of cheers as well as jeers. But Gordon may be turning those dissenters into fans, proving he may just be worth the Hornets nearly $60 million investment. Gordon scored 24 points, including six consecutive in a critical fourth quarter run, to lead the Hornets to a 95-88 victory over San Antonio on Monday night.
