    New Orleans Hornets coach Monty Williams wanted to make sure his team didn't underestimate the struggling Houston Rockets.

    So the first-year coach repeatedly asked his players how they would feel if they didn't have a win this season.

    The team used that mindset to remain unbeaten as Chris Paul scored 25 points, Marco Belinelli added 18 and the Hornets beat the winless Rockets 107-99 on Wednesday night.

    "We talked about being desperate -- as desperate as they are -- before the game," Williams said. "Having a sense of urgency, going out there and executing your offense as if you were 0-3. I think our guys had that mentality tonight."

    The Hornets have won all four games this season to match the best start in franchise history. Houston dropped to 0-4.
