Hornets even record at 3-3, lose by 3 points
Linsanity continues in Houston
Anthony Davis returned in the Hornet's November 14th match-up in Houston, but wasn't able to get the Hornets to win. Davis had a disappointing showing, going 5-16 from the field. If he has many games like that, we could see his minutes decreasing.
Jeremy Lin shined for the Rockets with 25 points, showing the world that he still has the ability to have great games.
The team is really missing Eric Gordon, a player who can give them an instant scoring burst. Gordon has been out with an injury for two games, and will miss three or more on his road to recovery. In addition, ESPN.com reports that Gordon "is angry with the current state of affairs in New Orleans. He doesn't think this team is fit to win, and he feels like he's going to run through his contract without seeing the lottery."
Will the Hornets get rid of Gordon? Or will they try to convince him NO is the right place for him? It's a storyline to watch this season, and one might be going on for months.
The Hornets play their next game at home against an Oklahoma City Thunder squad that is 9-0.
