Posted January 28, 2008 10:00 pm
Chris Paul had 23 points, 17 assists, and 9 rebounds, and the New Orleans Hornets ran away with their ninth-straight win, 117-93 over the Denver Nuggets on Monday night.
A jubilant crowd broke into repeated chants of "M-V-P" in recognition of a masterful performance by the Hornets' guard, who is New Orleans' best shot at making the All-Star game here next month as a reserve.
Denver guard Allen Iverson also scored 23, but had only 3 assists and got little help other than from Kenyon Martin, who scored 18.
Tyson Chandler finished with 10 points and 16 rebounds for New Orleans.
