Hornets Handle Pistons, Lose Smith For Season
The New Orleans Hornets were a bit shorthanded at the Hive on Friday night in their matchup with the Detroit Pistons. Rookie Anthony Davis sat out with a sprained shoulder, while top reserve and forward Jason Smith learned he'd miss the rest of the season with a torn labrum in his shoulder. Despite that, New Orleans "shouldered" the load, defeating the Pistons 100-95.
