SPEAKING

``We had a great play drawn up that we practiced in shootaround. When I came off the pick, I saw Ben (Wallace) leaning and I knew I had to get to the hole. There were no jumpers being shot _ I was missing those all night. I had to get to the hole.'' _ New Orleans guard Baron Davis on his dunk with 1 second remaining that gave the Hornets an 81-80 victory over Detroit on Sunday night.
