Hornets put Spurs in a Hole, Lead 2-0

Chris Paul's showtime style, glamorous dribble followed by a floating shot off the glass served as an exclamation point to the defending champs as New Orleans won 102-84, and put the Spurs in 0-2 deficit for the first time since 2001, when they were swept by Los Angeles. Chris Paul had thirty points and Pete Stovojak added 25 points including five three pointers. The Spurs went through similar lapses as the Suns did when San Antonio won their first two games aginst them in the previous round. They included third quarter meltdowns among other things. TNT analyst Kenny Smith, like myself, think it will be Los Angeles and New Orleans in the Western Conference Finals. What do you think readers?
