This is the 2nd game of the series and Hornets are coming from an emphatic win over Spurs, by 101-82.

West was brilliant with 30 points, a new playoff highm while Paul had 17 points and 13 assists. The Hornets were shooting with 50% on field goals and had 50 rebounds and 23 assists.

On the other hand, the Spurs had a very bad performance. They shot with 40%, but they shot 31 3-pointers. A very big number, considering what they've used us to see from them. Duncan had only 5 points (1/9 field goals and 3/6 free throws) and 3 rebounds. Parker had 23 points and Ginobili 19. The Spurs had 34 rebounds and 19 assists.

Even with that kind of stats by the Spurs, the total points were 183.

If we take a look at the numbers of the teams, we see that New Orleans is averaging 101 points at offense and 95.3 at defense, while the Spurs are 95.6 and 91.2. Moreover, the Hornets when they are favorites by 10 or less are having 100.5 at offensive end and 93.8 at defense. The Spurs when they are underdogs by 10 or less are averaging 90.4 and 96.7 points. Finally, at their last 5 games New Orleans are averaging 102.2 and 92.0 and San Antonio 95.4 and 97.6.

Hornets' coach, Byron Scott, didn't train his team yesterday, because he wanted them to be fresh, so as to have the strength to get a little bit faster pace on the game.

I believe that the Spurs will be much more challenging to the Hornets, than they did in the first game and I'm expecting a far more better performance by Duncan. So I believe that the total points tonight will be over 182.
