Emeka Okafor scored 18 points and David West added 13 for the Hornets, who never led in the final three quarters.Hill was 9 of 13 shooting, including 3 of 4 from 3-point range.Darren Collison had 10 points and 15 assists for New Orleans. Thornton was 12 of 19 and scored 20 of the Hornets’ last 29 points, but didn’t have the help that Hill got from the Spurs.Manu Ginobili had 13 points and eight assists for San Antonio, while Richard Jefferson and Matt Bonner each scored 10.Parker tormented New Orleans early in the second half, hitting a 20-foot jumper and three driving layups during 12-1 run, which Duncan capped with a jumper that put San Antonio up 70-50 with 7:40 left in the third quarter.New Orleans kept it interesting a little longer, though, responding with a 13-0 run during the next 4:30. West’s driving layup as he was fouled got it as close as 78-73 in the final minute of the third quarter, but Bonner hit a jumper as time expired in the period, then Ginobili opened the fourth quarter with a 3 and Jefferson followed with a jumper, quickly stretching the Spurs’ lead back to 85-73.Each time the Hornets put a couple of baskets together after that, the Spurs had an answer. When Thornton’s reverse layup enlivened the crowd and pulled the Hornets to 93-83 with a little more than  minutes to go, Parker came right back with a driving scoop and Hill added a 3 to make it a 15-point game with 5:42 left.When the Hornets got as close as 11 with more than 3 minutes left, Duncan made a free throw and Hill added another 3.—-Contact Brett Martel at [email protected]
