 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Indiana forward Danny Granger showed New Orleans guard Chris Paul that he's not alone in the Rookie of the Year race. Granger scored a season-high 22 points and had 11 rebounds Tuesday night to lead Indiana to a 97-75 victory over the Hornets, the Pacers' sixth victory in seven games.
Paul led the Hornets with 27 points and six assists. He shot 8-for-15 from the field, but his teammates were 17-for-59.
Granger and Paul were teammates in the Rookie Challenge during the NBA All-Star weekend. Granger said Paul deserves the credit he has received because the Hornets are 29-24 after going 18-64 last season.
