HORNETS
(32-32)

A nail-biter to the end, the Warriors ended their five-game road trip with a 135-131 loss to the Hornets on Monday night. The back-and-forth contest featured 20 lead changes, most of which occurred in the fourth quarter. Anthony Morrow knocked down all six of his three-point attempts and finished with 28 points, and Reggie Williams matched that point total and added six assists off the bench. Devean George also had a big night off the bench with 18 points for the Warriors, who shot 58.8 percent from the field. The Warriors will now have two days off before opening a four-game homestand on Thursday against the Trail Blazers

in a match-up that will feature one of Jack’s Box Office Specials.

QUOTES

	Don Nelson On tonight's game: “It was a good game. We played our hearts out. We came up shorts again. In five games on this road trip, we actually played four really good games. I have to be pleased with the way that we’re playing. We just can’t seem to scratch a win out.” On staying in the game while being severely out-rebounded: “That’s nothing new. We did it by making threes and shooting a high percentage. I haven’t seen the turnovers yet, but, normally, when you get beat that bad on the boards, your turnovers are down. I don’t really know what that number was. It was probably pretty good.” On Devean George: “He always surprises me. He had something in the tank tonight, probably because he hasn’t played that much in a couple of games. So, he had a little something for me there. Your offense always runs good when he’s in there because he’s a veteran and he knows where to be and how to be there. He was good. We were all good tonight.”
	Reggie Williams On his scoring: “I tried to bring it. I beat them a few times early. If I went to the right, it was open a lot more. I was just knocking down shots; the long range jump shots were falling.” On the defense: “I thought we played good defense. I thought where it killed us was on the boards. I didn’t do a good job rebounding. That definitely didn’t help. They out-rebounded us by 20. They got a lot of loose balls that we couldn’t get to and that led to a lot of second chance points.”
	Devean George On his performace: “Wherever he puts me out there, whatever assignment he gives me, I’m going to do my best to play hard. I try to gain the coach’s confidence. You want to play hard in any position he puts you in. You just want the coach to gain confidence in you.” On tonight's game: “We just played hard. We had problems with the boards. But we just played hard; we’re scrappy. If you play hard, the numbers really don’t matter.”
