The Hornets have not played a single minute of decent defense in San Antonio. Conversely, they are swarming all over the place (sorry) in New Orleans. I'm just sort of wondering why that is.

I guess I just don't agree with the premise here. Other than the initial burst of energy I haven't seen a whole lot of difference in the Hornets defensively(outside of the second half of Game Four). San Antonio made a lot of adjustments for Game Three offensively as well, and in Game 5 after the first few minutes NO's defense wasn't all that different than the games they played at SA. San Antonio just plain stopped making shots. They got a good amount of open shots in the third quarter of Game 5, pretty much the same ones they were making in Game 3. I really don't think it's any more complicated than that. A couple less layups maybe but not a major difference.
