Hornets win 4-1 against Mavs
David West stumbled toward the sideline after hitting a fadeaway as he was fouled, then turned toward the bench and slapped the extended hand of Hornets coach Byron Scott.
It was an impromptu but fitting exchange between a player and coach who had plenty to celebrate on Tuesday night.
On the day Scott was named NBA coach of the year for the first time, he gave fans in New Orleans another first: an NBA playoff series victory.
