NEW ORLEANS (AP) - David West had 24 points and 10 rebounds, and Jeff Bower picked up his first coaching win in the New Orleans Hornets' 110-102 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night.
With Chris Paul out, point guards Darren Collison and Bobby Brown scored 12 apiece and combined for 11 assists as New Orleans snapped a three-game losing streak. Devin Brown had 16 points.
Al Thornton scored 30 points and former Hornets guard Baron Davis had 23 for the Clippers, who have lost four of five.
Bower moved to the sideline while keeping his general manager role last Thursday after the firing of Byron Scott.
