New Orleans, LA (Sports Network) - Chris Paul recorded a triple-double with 29 points, 10 rebounds and 16 assists, carrying the New Orleans Hornets to a 109-97 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder and new head coach Scott Brooks.
Earlier in the day, the Thunder fired head coach P.J. Carlesimo after just 13 games and a league-worst 1-12 record. The change didn't result in a win for Brooks though, as Oklahoma City dropped its 11th straight game and was swept in the home-and-home set.
David West had 33 points and eight rebounds for the Hornets, who had lost two straight before beating the Thunder by 25 Friday night.
Kevin Durant scored 30 for the Thunder, who also received 17 points from Jeff Green.
