Now, that was a tie game, don’t you agree? And it is rare that you would see two teams playing so close together. I mean, look at the score, one point difference! C’mon, you don’t see that very often in basketball!
And what’s even better, the game was a massive comeback for the Hornets. The New Orleans team wasn’t performing their best recently but last nights heroic game by Chris Paul and Marcus Thornton, amongst others, definitely had made their coach, Monty Williams to rethink what he feels about his teams future.
And yes, I think his thoughts were not of a happy camper. With the teams recent performance he definitely needed a comeback like this to shut the mouth of everyone who might have had putting dark thoughts into his head.
And it is best illustrated in his post game interview, and especially one particular sentence he said. He mentioned that in situations like this all you can do is to thank the Lord and go on play some more.
And so they did.
New Orleans Hornets have officially beaten Memphis Grizzlies 103-102. An almost a tie game! Well, in fact it was and it was in the overtime that Chris Paul’s 3 pointer had saved his team and extended their winning streak to 6 games.
Now they are facing a tough challenge following up on the game. They didn’t have it easy throughout the entire game and seemed to have been saved by the 3 pointer only. Now they need to shape up and make sure that any other game they are going to play from now on is not going to be a close tie. They really have to push themselves forward in order to keep their winning streak going.
