=== New Orleans Hornets Team Report - December 16 === (My Sportsbook) -The New Orleans Hornets will try to get back on the winning track tonight when they close out a four-game homestand against the Denver Nuggets at the Pepsi Center. Last night, New Orleans had its four-game winning streak stopped, as it found itself on the wrong end of a 109-80 decision to the Los Angeles Clippers. Jamaal Magloire scored 17 points with 10 rebounds for the Hornets, who also had a four-game road winning streak snapped. Baron Davis finished with 16 points, but shot just 7-of-22 from the floor. P.J. Brown added 16 points and 13 boards in the loss for New Orleans, which allowed at least 100 for the second time in three games after going 14 straight without the opposition reaching the century mark. The Hornets, who are 5-3 against the Western Conference, are 9-5 away from home this season. New Orleans has won four straight and 12 of its last 15 over the Nuggets.
