Re: NBA Rewind: Recreating the Modern NBA (2000-01 to ...)
Oct. 28, 2000 - NBA Nightly Recap (Part 2)
Hornets fly past Hawks 101-82
ATLANTA -- With some NBA analysts picking the Charlotte Hornets to contend for the Eastern Conference crown, others were left wondering whether the on-court performance would live up to the hype.
For at least the opening night of the season the answer was a resounding, ‘Yes.’
Baron Davis had 20 points with 5 rebounds and 5 assists to lead Charlotte to a 101-82 win over the Hawks. New-additions Jamal Mashburn and P.J. Brown scored 15 and 12 points respectively. Brown also grabbed a game high 17 rebounds.
"Guys made shots, but it's a testament to the ball movement and guys giving of themselves to make the shot easier for the next guy,'' said Davis.
Charlotte used a 32-14 first quarter to take control of the game and never looked back.
"A good start,'' Hornets coach Paul Silas said. "I liked our energy."
Jason Terry scored a game high 23 points in the losing effort for Atlanta. Jim Jackson added 16 points and Alan Henderson had a double-double with 11 points and 13 rebounds.

Carter’s 33 carry Raptors against Cavs
TORONTO -- Vince Carter and the Toronto Raptors executed well in the final minutes, the Cleveland Cavaliers did not.
Carter scored 33 points and grabbed 8 rebounds as the Raptors took down the Cavs 92-85. Morris Peterson added 15 points off the bench.
Although it was for from his win as an NBA head coach, Lenny Wilkens did pick his first win in Toronto.
"I know it's one of many games, but to get him his first W, especially at home, felt good," Carter said. "He was calm all night, and that kind of rubbed off on us."
Zydrunas Ilgauskas who had 25 points and 14 rebounds was the lone bright spot for the Cavs.

Nuggets use big second half to topple Rockets
HOUSTON -- If the Denver Nuggets can play the way they did in the second half of their 105-97 win over the Houston Rockets they will be a much improved team this season.
Nick Van Exel scored 22, Antonio McDyess had 20, and Raef LaFrentz added 19 as the Nuggets overcame a 10 point halftime deficit.
"We worked hard enough to come in here and expect to win a game," Denver coach Dan Issel said. "This should not come as a shock. Everybody outside of our organization can pick us last if they want, but we feel we have a chance to do something special this year and I think the way we played tonight showed that promise."
Steve Francis led the Rockets with 15 points but shot just 5 of 15 and Hakeem Olajuwon scored 14 in what could his his final season opener in Houston.

Another Miller game-winner lifts Pacers to 2-0 start
SALT LAKE CITY -- The teams involved may be a little different but when Reggie Miller and John Starks face each other, it seems like something interesting always happens. While Starks came out ahead in the point column the outcome of the game was a Miller classic.
After Utah took a 90-88 lead off a Karl Malone jumper with just 2.1 seconds left, everyone knew who the Pacers would look to for their last shot and as usual Miller did not disappoint knocking down a game winning three as the clock expired to give the Pacers a 91-90 win and a 2-0 start to the season.
“We still have a lot of things we need to work on," Miller said. "But we're 2-0. We just want to continue to stay the course."
Jermaine O’Neal led the Pacers in scoring with 23 points and rebounding with 14. Miller’s game winner gave him 20 points for the night.
The Jazz added some new pieces this offseason, the results so far are mixed at best.
Utah blew an eight point 4th quarter lead that was built on the dominant play of Karl Malone who finished the game with 23 points and 19 rebounds. John Stockton had a nondescript game with 9 points and 9 assists, Starks scored 22.
"We didn't play the way we have for the last couple years, so ... this is Game 1. We've just got to keep working at it,” Stockton said.
