Ty Lawson and the Denver Nuggets haven't been shy about letting it fly from 3-point range, and that doesn't seem likely to change any time soon. Lawson had 23 points and 10 assists, and the Denver Nuggets combined for 17 3-pointers in a 114-103 victory over the New Orleans Hornets on Monday night. "I've got to give a lot of credit to our guys, especially the point guards for penetrating and kicking it out, finding the open man, just sharing the ball," said Nuggets forward Wilson Chandler, who hit all four of his 3s in the third quarter, the last of which gave Denver a 23-point lead at 91-68. "When you've got point guards like that, that makes your shot selection easy. When you're wide open, confidence goes up." Raymond Felton added 22 points, hitting six 3s for Denver, while J.R. Smith hit five 3s and finished with 18 points and Chandler had 21 points. Lawson routinely sliced into the interior of the Hornets' defense, from there he seemed able to score or find an open teammate with equal effectiveness. He hit eight of his 13 shots, including a pair of 3s. Denver shot 53.3 percent (40 of 75) overall and were even better from 3-point range, going 17 of 29 (56.6 percent) Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=310314003
