If you have watched the Golden State Warriors play a game this season, by now you know that they just love to shoot three pointers.

Their Wednesday night tilt versus the New Orleans Hornets at New Orleans Arena was a perfect example of how much the Warriors love shooting three pointers.

The Warriors shot 27 three pointers, making 13 of them and the Warriors put an end to the Hornets nine-game winning streak by dropping the Hornets 116-103.

Stephen Jackson scored 26 points, as he went three of six from three-point land and former Hornets guard Baron Davis added 23 in his return to New Orleans, which included going five of seven from three-point land.

Chris Paul led all scorers with 28 points, but it was enough, as the Hornets lost for just the third time in their last 20 outings. David West added 24 and grabbed 13 rebounds.

Monta Ellis helped out Davis and Jackson ,as he scored 16 points, while Andris Biedrins added 14 and Matt Barnes chimed in with 17.

Al Harrington also three 3-pointers, in helping the Warriors split their mini two-road trip.
