Next Game: Hornets - 11/11 vs. Pho | Clippers - 11/11 vs. OKC

Chris Paul thought a minor lineup alteration made a major difference for the New Orleans Hornets, who showcased both their imperfections and their potential during a two-day stint at Staples Center. Paul had 24 points and 10 assists on a sore ankle, Devin Brown scored 25 points and the Hornets bounced right back from a blowout loss to the Lakers with a 112-84 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night.
