WE HAVE AN EARL WATSON SIGHTING!

Mr. W logged 21 minutes against the Hornets:
Scored 10 points
50% shooting
3 Reb
3 Assists
3 Steals
3 Turnovers (attributed to Rust IMO)

The win was sweet for Watson, who had not gotten significant playing time in a meaningful game since the playoffs last April with Memphis.

"It's almost like a guy coming back from an injury but not being injured," said Watson, who had 10 points, three assists and three steals. "The main thing was I just wanted to contribute, lose myself to the game so I didn't have time to think."

Watson entered in the second quarter with Denver down 27-22. He played the rest of the period, and the Nuggets entered halftime up five and never trailed. Soaking up time for Voshon Lenard, who did not play, Watson ended up with 21 minutes.

"He got our defense back on track," Karl said. "He just had a solid basketball game. Maybe the game is playing more guys who know how to pass, know how to play. Right now I think we need more playmakers on the court."
