David West Dominates as Hornets Throttle Spurs, 101-82

David West scored a playoff career-high 30 points on 13-23 field goal shooting as the New Orleans Hornets beat the San Antonio Spurs 101-82. Chris Paul struggled with his shot for most of the game but he finished with 17 points on 7-16 shooting in addition to having 13 assists, though a careful review of the tape calls into serious question the scorekeeping practices in New Orleans.

Above The Rim: Catch-Up Thoughts

Posted 5/6/2008 on Signal to Noise

I’ll believe the Spurs are out of the playoffs when they’re actually out of the playoffs, meaning someone has beaten them four games out of seven. The Spurs being down 2-0 is not any other team being down by the margin that usually means playoff doom.
