NBA
Regular Season Round 51: N.Orleans H. - Sacramento K. 94-91
Date: December 15, 2010
Marcus Thornton surged up through a crowd underneath, tipped home a missed shot and then stood under the basket, letting out a triumphant roar with his arms clenched at his side. The crowd went wild with him as the Hornets closed in on the greatest comeback in franchise history. For the popular former LSU star who'd been relegated to the bench more often than not lately, it was a moment to savor. 'Just happy, man. Just happy to be out there on the court with those guys again, playing as a team and contributing,' Thornton said. 'I credit my teammates for that. They never let me put my head down when I was going through stuff or whatever. Coaches never let me put my head down, told me to keep it up and be ready when your name's called.' Thornton scored 17 of his season-high 19 points in the second half, including 13 during a crucial 6-minute span in the third quarter, and the Hornets overcame a 23-point second-half deficit for a 94-91 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night. Chris Paul led the Hornets with 22 points and 11 assists, and afterward praised Thornton for staying focused and prepared even though he hadn't played in three of the past five games. 'That happens in this league. He knows that. But I think that showed a lot about him and his resolve,' Paul said. 'He didn't give up. He knows we're going to need him and the next game might not call for 25 minutes from him, but we need that same energy and that was great for him. When you're called on, you've got to be ready to play and he was.' David West added 11 points and Emeka Okafor and Willie Green each scored 10 for New Orleans, which won for only the fourth time in 13 games. *Courtesy of www.msn.foxsports.com
