The Internets are alive: Spurs at Hornets, Game 5
Published 5/14/2008 at Ball Don't Lie
... Jim Eichenhofer, Hornets.com: "Over the two days prior to Game 5, everyone had spent countless hours analyzing what was wrong with the Hornets. A common line of thinking was that after Games 3 and 4, the Spurs had "figured out" the Hornets. That San Antonio head coach Gregg Popovich had finally come up with a scheme that would solve New Orleans and send the upstart Hornets packing on summer vacation. That the defending NBA champions were poised to show a team that hadn’t been in the postseason since 2004 how it’s done in the biggest ...

In a surprisingly close game, the Spurs beat the Hornets 91-82 to win the series 4-3. The Spurs played great throughout almost the entire game. Near the end of the game, the Hornets were fueled by a hot streak from Pargo. The problem was Chris Paul didn't have any heroics in the bag. He is a good offensive player, but doesn't have enough individual game to propel them past the Spurs. Again, I ...Spurs-Hornets Game 7 Live Blog
