Mostly, it’s been a season of un-West for the Hornets.
The numbers haven’t added up favorably in the won-loss column, digits that stand at 11-13 even after Wednesday’s 95-87 victory over Detroit at the New Orleans Arena. And they hadn’t looked much better for David West, whose production is a must for the Hornets to be a winning team.
What we’re used to seeing is a sequence produced in the second quarter against Detroit, when West, while being fronted by a defender in the lane, caught a lobbed entry pass one-handed and converted a layup, a move so smooth it appeared effortless, the result being his 10th point of the first half.
What we’re used to seeing is the kind of stat line — 32 points and 12 rebounds in 45 minutes — that he constructed against the Pistons.
