The report before Game 3 Spurs Vs. Hornets were the Hornets are too fast for the Spurs. Tony Parker can’t handle the new sensation Chris Paul. Tim Duncan has lost a step.

We played with more passion, more edge.” The Hornets Chris Paul went for 35 points and 9 assist but the problem for the Hornets was there three point shooting they shot 18% 2-11 from the field.
