During the second part of their back-to-back to open the season, the Phoenix Suns lost 108-95 to the New Orleans Hornets on Thursday night. This comes as really no surprise to this fan, as the Suns have not beaten the Hornets since Chris Paul (pictured above after smelling Raja's Bells rampant BO) donned that turquoise jersey. The Suns' bench (yes, they have a bench now!) did make a run in the 4th quarter, closing the lead to 83-80, but the Hornets then unleashed a flurry of 3 pointers, pushing the lead to 12 and never looking back. It was great to see coach Terry Porter have some faith in his bench (even if it means falling behind by a few points) and not immediately react by bringing back his starters (coughD'antonicough).
