Kings at Hornets - In-game blog...

Blogging from New Orleans Arena, second row mid-court.... PRE-GAME 6:41 p.m. Same starting lineup for the Kings, but one defensive adjustment coach Paul Westphal informed me about. Kings small forward Desmond Mason will be guarding Hornets power forward David West most of the night in what is Westphal's best attempt to keep Kings power forward Jason Thompson out of foul trouble. Thompson simply must be on the floor, but he kickstarted his old habit of drawing quick foulsl against Oklahoma City on Wednesday. Thus, Thompson will guard small forward Julian Wright and Sean May will be on his old teammate, Emeka Okafor.
