The Cavaliers fell behind early once again, but this time the comeback ran out of steam. Cleveland cut the lead to 1 at 71-70, where it stayed for over 2 minutes, but couldn’t get any shots to fall and lost to the Hornets who were playing their third game in as many nights. The story of this game is found in the Cavaliers’ shooting percentage and Hornets’ offensive rebounds.

The Cavaliers lost to the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday to close out their first half of the season despite another rally late in the fourth quarter. Kyrie didn't shoot it awesome in that game, but he did drop ten dimes. Ryan Hollins played almost the whole fourth quarter, Gody got out there a little bit, nobody played particularly good, and the Cavs basically looked gassed...

The New Orleans Hornets have given Donald Sloan a second 10-day contract. If the Hornets want to sign Sloan by March 1, they’re going to have to keep him for the rest of the season.
Sloan will not receive that many chances to play since a good chunk of the 10-day contract will be eaten up by All-Star weekend festivities.

I haven't had a lot of faith in Trevor Ariza. He's notoriously a poor shooter from the free-throw line (67 percent for his career). But his cross-category production is hard to ignore. The Hornets lost in overtime to the Pacers 117-108, but Ariza played well. He hit 8-of-15 shots and 2-of-2 free throws for 21 points, three 3-pointers, six rebounds, five assists a steal, a...
