David West

Yeah, there’s still some other basketball going on these days, and the Hornets are playing some of the best of it.

New Orleans has won three in a row, including their last two against Houston and Boston, the two hottest teams in the game today.

In fact, the Bees have won five of six over all and nine straight home games, pumping up their record to a Southwest Division leading 47-21 record, good for the second-best record in the West and fourth-best record in the NBA.

And David West has been right in the middle of it. West went for 37 points on Saturday in an impressive 113-106 victory over the Celtics.

It included him going 15-for-25 from the floor and hitting all six of his free throws on the night. He’s now scored 101 points the last four games (25.3) and is puliing down an average of 9.8 rebounds over that time as well.

Not to mention, his Xavier Musketeers have played their way into the Sweet 16!

MAD LOVE goes out to West, the Hornets and the Musketeers today!
