Jarrett Jack scored 20 points, nine in the fourth quarter, and the Trail Blazers earned their first victory of the season by beating the previously undefeated New Orleans Hornets 93-90 on Wednesday night.
"I just try to embrace my role," Jack said. "He [coach Nate McMillan] wants me to be more aggressive, so I came out with a sense of urgency."
Martell Webster added 20 points, and Brandon Roy had 17 points and seven assists for the Blazers (1-3), playing their home opener.
David West had 34 points and 18 rebounds for the Hornets (4-1), who had matched last season's start for the best in franchise history with four straight wins.
