LOS ANGELES – With their playoff hopes virtually a long shot now with 14 games remaining, the New Orleans Hornets were in jeopardy of losing eight consecutive road games for the first time since the 2004-05 season when they won only 18 games.
Desperate to avoid another setback, forward David West scored 24 points and the Hornets’ 17-4 spurt in the fourth quarter put away the Los Angeles Clippers 108-100 on Monday night before 15,617 at the Staples Center.
It was New Orleans’ first road victory since a Feb. 6 game at Charlotte. The Hornets defeated the struggling Clippers for the 13th consecutive time.
