Davis savors beating Hornets
Baron Davis expected to be booed, expected some venom and trash to be hurled his way as he finally returned to the city he pouted his way out of three years ago. Asked before the game, then, if he had visited some of his pre-trade, pre-Katrina hot spots, Davis politely said no. The Warriors' guard, really under the weather, joked that he had put himself under house arrest. "In case someone sees me on the street and tries to beat me up or something," Davis said with a laugh. The only beat-down here was delivered by the Warriors, who continued their season-long trend of following head-scratching losses with head-turning wins like Wednesday's 116-103 triumph over the Hornets. The Warriors lost 111-107 at Houston on Tuesday. Golden State snapped New Orleans' winning streak at nine games and denied Byron Scott, Davis' main adversary, the chance to clinch coaching duties for the Western Conference All-Star team.

"You can tell by the number of teeth they have how long they've been out here," Peters says as we get out of the car. Cookie Monster smiles to reveal a full set. Her skin is dirty, with brown bruises here and there and scabs on her legs. She wears a tight but fading skirt and a pair of dirty white Keds. Big, sagging breasts. Peterson points at them with the butt of his flashlight. "That's what gets you in trouble," he says. She smiles as if he's embarrassed her. "Don't worry," he says. "We're not buying." He hands her a cigarette. "How you doin,' Country?" he asks the pimp. Country's good. Country's high. Country's got a bit of drool coming out of his mouth.
