    Hornets coach Steve Clifford walked into his postgame press conference and smiled.

    "We needed to win a game and we won a game, so that's it," he said. "That's how I feel and I'm sticking with it."

    It didn't matter to Clifford that his team nearly squandered a 22-point fourth-quarter lead on Saturday night to a struggling Phoenix Sunssquad playing without leading scorer Devin Booker and without any player averaging in double figures.

    Dwight Howard had 30 points and 12 rebounds, Nic Batum flirted with a triple-double as Charlotte held on to beat Phoenix 122-115. Batum added 29 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists and Marvin Williamschipped in with 16 points as the Hornets wrapped up a three-game homestand.
