On a night filled with poor shooting, the New Orleans Hornets were fortunate to have Jannero Pargo on their bench.
Pargo scored a season-high 25 points, 21 of them after halftime as the Hornets scraped past the Orlando Magic 84-78 in overtime Tuesday night.
Pargo was 10-of-18 from the field, made three of his four 3-pointers and sank both his free throws. His teammates combined to go 20-of-62 from the floor as the Hornets shot just 37.5 percent.
