Paul Pierce had 19 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for his fourth career triple-double to beat New Orleans 108-90 Monday night, handing the Hornets to their eighth consecutive loss.

"We were a little bit stagnant, a little confused. In the second half we started to get things going," Pierce said. "With or without Gary, these are games we're supposed to win."

Gary Payton's consecutive game-streak ended at 305 games.  Payton's streak was the second-longest active streak.
