Hornets vs. Blazers (11/11/06)

[4cwebb]

Blazers were down nearly 30 in the second quarter, but Zach Randolph leads a comeback and hits one of two free throws with 5 seconds left to give the Blazers a win. Randolph's third game in a rown with 30+ points and 10+ rebounds.

The main reason I start this thread though is to mention Peja's apparent new clutchness with the Hornets...as far as I can tell from the box score, Peja hit a three for the Hornets with 5 seconds left to tie the game. This is at least the third or fourth big shot he has made this season down the stretch for the Hornets on this young season. He hasn't yet found his shooting touch on a consistent basis, but he's shooting the ball very well at the end of games. It's nice to see this from Peja (even if it's not in a Kings' uniform).

it would be the 4th time this season that he had a winning basket or the go ahead basket in the last minute. Too bad - it wasn't enough tonight

Did you see how close he was at the buzzer from the other end of the court?! That bounced off the back of the rim. HE could have had 2 threes in last 5 seconds.

Yeah, that last second heave was even more impressing than the 3 he made.
