NEW ORLEANS (AP)—Hornets rookie Julian Wright sat in front of his locker with a bag of ice wrapped around his right wrist, which was sore for all the right reasons.
“That’s from dunking,” Wright said, a reference to three alley-oop jams.
Wright had career highs of 20 points and eight rebounds in about 30 minutes as a reserve Friday night, helping the Hornets win their third straight game, 107-96 over the New Jersey Nets.
“I feel like I’ve learned a lot, the nuances and things that really make it much easier to make the transition in terms of being effective,” said Wright, who spent the first half of the season mostly watching from the bench. “It’s not just God-given ability.”
Chris Paul led the way with 25 points and 16 assists as the Hornets won for the fifth time in six games.
