The Hornets outrebounded the Suns 57-47 last night but it didn’t matter as they shot a woefully pathetic 28.9% from the floor!  Carl Landry led the way for the Hornets in this game with 17 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists.  Jarrett Jack had a rough night shooting 6 of 20 from the floor but he still finished up with 12 points, 1 rebound, 4 assists and 1 blocked shot.  Emeka Okafor pitched in with 10 points, 16 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 blocked shot last night.  The Hornets are now 2-1 on the year.
