The month of February proves to be a distraction for the Celtics, they now have lost a total of 11 games now, this time they lost to the young New Orleans Hornets club. The Hornets reel in a 93-85 win against the crumbling Celtics who hit a cold streak at the start of the 3rd quarter, New Orleans then took advantage by hitting a stunning 6 consecutive 3 pointers 3 of which were thanks to Stojakovic. But the stories of the night came from rookie point guard Darren Collison from UCLA who scored a team best 25 points 13 of which came late in the 4th quarter surging the Hornets past the Celtics and to hold on to the lead. Celtics Guard/Forward Marquise Daniels started in the place of Ray Allen who sat on the bench due to back spasms. This is Boston's 2nd loss in a week, previously losing to the Orlando Magic. The overall game was sloppy with a total of 47 or so turn overs with a shocking franchise high of 10 thanks to the Hornets leading scorer of the night Darren Collison. The Hornets who are missing Chris Paul are now at 3-4 for wins to losses and are proving to be a steady team which has a glimmer of hope of making the playoffs.
