New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul grew up about 90 minutes from his team’s opponent, Charlotte; and as such, he wanted to impress his family and friends – all 500 of them (he sprung for tickets for all of them). Against the Charlotte Bobcats Friday night, he notched yet another 20-10 effort (his 5th [...]
