Sixers Open Up a Hornets Mess

Sixers Open Up a Hornets Mess

No two games will tell the story of where the Sixers were at the beginning of the season and where they are now than their two meetings with the Hornets (Nov. 7 in New Orleans; Tuesday here). Below we compare their numbers in those two games.

Here are two things to check out: the Hornets' two-point shooting and offensive rebounding.

On Nov. 7, New Orleans shot 19-for-50 inside the arc; Tuesday they were 34-65. That is exactly 15 more two-point attempts ... every one of them a make! Ouch!

Secondly, in the first meeting, the Hornets garnered 24.4% of the offensive rebounds available to them (slightly under the league average of 27%). In Game 2, N.O. went and got 40% of the ORs available to them. That is a very winning number.
