The Jazz's last exit from Louisiana was voluntary. This time, they were run out of the bayou by the new home team.
   
The New Orleans Hornets opened their new French Quarter era Wednesday by treating a sellout crowd to something New Orleans saw 249 times a couple of decades ago: a Jazz loss. Utah scored only 11 points in the fourth quarter and opened the 2002-03 season by falling to the Hornets, 100-75, in New Orleans Arena.
   
The Hornets retired Pete Maravich's jersey at halftime, but the Jazz were not inspired by the franchise's long-ago icon. Trailing by four points at the end of three quarters, they disintegrated under a flurry of turnovers and Courtney Alexander points, scoring only six points in the first nine minutes of the final quarter.
