Anthony Hamilton may be regarded as the "Robin Hood of the Green Baize" but thus far he has failed in his bid to steal the thunder from snooker's elite.
New Orleans was still down by 18 early in the third quarter, but later used an 8-0 run ignited by Robin Lopez's putback and Anthony Davis' layup to get as close as 66-59 in the period, and trailed only 73-65 heading into the final quarter after Jason Smith's fast-break layup in the final second.
