The Hornets shot a blistering eight of 15 in the fourth quarter, outscoring Washington 27-19 in the fourth quarter. New Orleans made key defensive stops and used an up-tempo pace led by rookie point guard Chris Paul to get back in the game. Paul found J.R. Smith on more than a few occasions en route to a game high nine assists. A scary moment occurred with 1:13 left in the game when Paul drove to the hoop and got fouled hard landing on his right wrist and staying on the ground for several minutes. Paul was still favoring his right wrist and was set to get an X-Ray at the end of the game. Smith paced the Hornets with a game high 30 points (10-22 FG). Smith was six of 13 from three point range in the game.</div> Boxscore | Re-Cap
Looks like we got our first look at the Paul-JR duo, and have to say I was impressed. 30 points reguardless if it was in a summer league game is quite a feat by a 19 year old. Looks like Smith is finding his stroke from downtown as well. Although they lost, the young Hornets are off to a great start.
