Too bad more than half the fans were there to see Michael Jordan. But the Hornets wouldn't be outdone. They couldn't show themselves to be so hapless as to loose in their first, and maybe, only sell out they might have this season.

Baron Davis dished for crucial baskets, despite a leg injury, and then nailed the big one himself. MJ's shot got hot later on to neutralize the zone but it was too late.

Elden Campbell 17 and 13 rebounds, Baron 15 and 15 assists. MJ 28. << Back Next >> Back to archive |
