The Hornets played great defense in holding the Suns to 39.5% shooting from the floor and that is the main reason they got a nice road win to open the season.  Eric Gordon led the way for the Hornets in this game with 20 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot.  Carl Landry (14 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals) and Trevor Ariza (13 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 blocked shot) also had solid games for the Hornets.  Marco Belinelli, Chris Kaman and Greivis Vasquez pitched in with 10 points apiece in this game for the Hornets.  The Hornets are now 1-0 on the year.
