Hakim Warrick scored 18 points in a reserve role, and the Phoenix Suns won for the first time this young season while handing the New Orleans Hornets their first loss, 93-78 on Friday night. Channing Frye added 10 points and 16 rebounds for the Suns, who had opened the season with two losses, one to New Orleans in their home opener Monday night. Jared Dudley added 16 points, while Steve Nash dished out 12 assists. Hornets shooting guard Eric Gordon missed a second straight game with a bruised right knee, and this time New Orleans could not compensate for the prolific scorer's absence. Carl Landry led New Orleans with 17 points, while Emeka Okafor had 10 points and 16 rebounds, but the Hornets shot only 29 percent (26 of 90).

Thursday, the Suns signed Michael Redd to a one-year deal, picking up the often-injured shooting guard hoping to add... more shooting. That has been how to define the Suns in recent years.

What can Redd do for Suns?

Via Fox Sports Arizona  |  December 29, 2011
Two winding paths of misfortune have led to the intersection of need for the Phoenix Suns and opportunity for Michael Redd. The Suns are limping toward the close of their opening week at 0-2. Redd, whose impressive career has been sidetracked by knee injury, may -- if he's not eventually reduced to limping through the compacted schedule -- be able to help. His signing was announced...

Well so much for starting the season 3-0, as New Orleans suffered their first loss of the season falling 93-78 to the visiting Phoenix Suns.  Once again Eric Gordon sat out due to his bruised knee, they certainly could have used him in the lineup.  The offense was just downright terrible.  As a team, the Hornets shot 28.9% hitting only 26 of the 90 shots taken.  Yet despite the...
