Regular Season Round 157: N.Orleans H. - Houston R. 101-93
Date: April 6, 2011
Chris Paul stood at the scorer's table, barking advice to Hornets teammates who were trying not to let a game full of playoff implications slip away. Then the four-time All-Star checked back in, and quickly secured his return to the postseason. Paul finished with 28 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds, and New Orleans clinched a playoff spot with a 101-93 victory over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night. ``Man, I'm just happy. Most of all, I'm happy I'm healthy,' said Paul, who missed 37 games last season, the only season in the past four to finish short of the postseason. ``Just the opportunity to go out there and play every night - my fiancee will tell you I'm just happy. I'm a happier person knowing that I'm getting a chance to at least give us a chance.' Trevor Ariza, acquired by the Hornets from Houston in an offseason trade, scored 19 for a second straight game and tied a season high with six steals. Jarrett Jack, who's in his sixth season, and seventh-year pro Emeka Okafor, also played key roles in helping guarantee their first-career playoff appearances - all while ensuring rookie coach Monty Williams would get his with a far shorter wait. Jack finished with 19 points, including four clutch free throws in the final 11.5 seconds. Okafor added 11 points, and afterward smiled broadly while talking about his impending maiden playoff voyage. *Courtesy of www.comcast.net
