--The Hornets' 97-85 victory at home against the Wizards on Tuesday night was the 800th victory in franchise history.
--Another milestone was reached as point guard Chris Paul played in a victory against the Wizards for the first time, giving him a victory against every NBA opponent. In every previous game against the Wizards in his four seasons, either the Hornets had lost or Paul had been sidelined by an injury. --Reserve guard Antonio Daniels played his first game against the Wizards since they traded him to the Hornets earlier this month. He had five points and two assists in 12 minutes.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "This road trip is going to be a beast." -- Coach Byron Scott, on consecutive games at the Blazers, Nuggets, Lakers, and Jazz.
