The term "out with the old and in with the new" is what came to mind while watching the Hornets beat the Spurs in San Antonio, 99-90.
The Hornets started off slowly in this game; San Antonio forced a turnover which lead to a Ginobili three and then Tony Parker got an easy layup.
The Hornets fought back and got the ball rolling to make it 44-43 at the half as Tony Parker lead the Spurs with 10 points.
But the game was won in the third quarter as the Hornets exploded for 33 points, 10 of those from Chris Paul, giving the Hornets a 16-point lead entering the fourth.
The Spurs did give the home crowd something to cheer about, cutting the Hornets lead to three 93-90 with 2:04 left in the game.
The game was close and the Hornets needed to close this out, and who else but CP3 to win it by making George Hill lose the H in his name as Paul crossed him over and scored making it 97-90 and sealing the win.
It may be an overreaction, but I can't help feeling like the Hornets have regained that swagger when they were championship contenders just thee seasons ago, moving in on the old Spurs.
