Nostalgia Before the Night: New Orleans Last Home Win

The night was April 24^th, 2011. It was Game 4 of the first round of the playoffs against the Los Angeles Lakers. The New Orleans Hornets (remember them?) had stunned the NBA by beating the Lakers in Game 1, a game where Chris Paul went off for 33 points, 14 assists, and seven rebounds. But the Lakers had won back-to-back after that, including Game 3 in New Orleans, and it seemed like the magic had worn off. But that is the thing about having a dynamic player like Paul, someone who can be the best player on the court on any given night, even if the opposing team has a five-time NBA champion.
