New Orleans Hornets Team Report - November 13

(Basketball News) - The reeling New Orleans Hornets will try to register their first win in six tries this season tonight, when they battle the Milwaukee Bucks at the Bradley Center.

New Orleans’ early season woes under new head coach Byron Scott continued Friday night, as it dropped a 96-95 decision to the previously winless Atlanta Hawks.

Baron Davis finished with 18 points and seven assists for the Hornets, who started a season with five straight losses for the second time in franchise history and opened with four straight defeats at home for the first time. Jamaal Magloire contributed 17 points and 12 boards.

The Hornets also dropped five in a row to open the 1989-90 campaign, when they were still in Charlotte.

Davis left late in the fourth quarter with back spasms for the Hornets, who held a 50-39 rebounding edge. It is unknown if he will be available for tonight’s contest.

New Orleans is 0-1 on the road this season, losing in Minnesota on November 6.

New Orleans took three of four meetings between these teams last season. This will be one of just two contests in the series this year, as the Hornets have been shifted to the Western Conference.
