Peja Stojakovic went on a long-range scoring spree, and Chris Paul was a generous playmaker as each rewrote the Hornets’ record book.
Stojakovic made a franchise-high 10 3-pointers, and Paul broke another mark with 21 assists Tuesday night in New Orleans’ 118-104 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.
“It was a good night for our team,” Stojakovic said in obvious understatement.
He missed just three of 13 shots from behind the arc and finished with 36 points. He was only 2-of-8 shooting 2-pointers.
By the fourth quarter, there was a sort of collective sigh of resignation from the Lakers’ sellout crowd of 18,997 each time Stojakovic got the ball behind the arc. The fans went silent by the time the ball went through the hoop.
