The hornets are in the playoffs for the first time since a 2009 beat down by the Denver Nuggets, which included an embarrassing five-game first-round loss and a 58-point loss at home.(LA Times)

Chris Paul finished with 33 points, 14 assists and seven rebounds, leading the Hornets in the upset victory against the Lakers on the road at the defending champions house, the Staples Center.(USA Today Box Score)
I believe that calling it an upset underestimates the abilities of the New Orleans Hornets, who were bought out by the NBA, and David Stern, in order to allow them to afford to stay in the hurricane damaged city of New Orleans.(Source)
Kobe Bryant scored 34 points for the Lakers, but the sloppy play that hampered the team for the final games of the season, continue to haunt them in the playoffs.(Source)
It’s a seven game series, Game 2 is Wednesday at Staples Center, and let’s see if the Hornets led by Chris Paul can pull off a big time knock-out blow,producing one of sports history’s all time upset’s ever….(ABC)
