The New Orleans Hornets were hoping that the way Robin Lopez has been playing recently eventually would translate into a much-needed victory. It took another nail-nibbling finish, but their patience finally paid off. Lopez had a season-high 29 points and Greivis Vasquez scored a season-best 27 as the Hornets snapped an 11-game losing streak with a 97-94 win over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night.
