PLAYER NOTES

--G Jarrett Jack is becoming one of the Hornets' more consistent scorers. He scored 19 points off the bench Friday, making 6-of-11 field goals, including 3-of-4 three-pointers. He reached double-figures in scoring for the 10th time in 11 games.

--C Emeka Okafor has played five games since returning from a strained oblique muscle, and he has yet to regain his form. He had seven points and six rebounds, the third consecutive game he has failed to reach double-figures in either category. He averages 11 points and 10 rebounds.

--F Carl Landry bounced back from a poor performance against the Knicks on Wednesday -- four points and no rebounds -- to score 14 points and grab 10 rebounds.
