18th and 54th to lead the romp over Paraguay.

CHARLOTTE, N. Mike Shannon Jersey .C. -- There was a point midway through the first quarter when Paul George began to wonder if the Indiana Pacers were ever going to keep the Charlotte Hornets from scoring.Kemba Walker had 24 points and 10 assists, and the Hornets scored on their first 12 possessions to build a 21-point lead in the first quarter on their way to a 122-100 rout of the listless Pacers on Monday night.Charlotte scored on every possession until Marvin Williams missed a jumper with 5:48 left in the first. By that point, the Hornets led 30-14 and were already on their way to a lopsided victory.We couldnt get a stop and we couldnt get a break, George said. Its concerning that they are scoring and no one cares. No one cares. We are looking bad. We are terrible right now.Charlotte, meanwhile, is looking pretty good under fourth-year coach Steve Clifford.The Hornets (5-1) tied a 23-year franchise record with 75 points in the first half on 56.5 percent shooting and are off to the best start in franchise history.Charlotte scored 35 points off 18 Indiana turnovers.We know the formula, said Charlotte center Spencer Hawes, who had 13 points and 13 rebounds. The way we move the ball when were playing defense, well do well. Thats what we have to do moving forward because when we do that, we do pretty well.Charlottes starters were 17 of 25 from the field before halftime as the Hornets established a 20-point lead and never looked back.Were all out of whack. Theres no trust, theres no chemistry, theres no belief. Were kind of just lifeless right now, George said.TIP-INSPacers: C.J. Miles led the Pacers with 23 points, while Al Jefferson had 12 points and nine rebounds in his return to Charlotte. ... Indiana shot only 15 free throws, compared to Charlottes 32.Hornets: Have won four straight against the Pacers. ... Treveon Graham scored his first NBA points when he knocked down a 3-pointer from the left wing.KIDD-GILCHRIST HURTS BACKMichael Kidd-Gilchrist made all four shots from the field and all five free throws and had 13 points before leaving the game in the third quarter with a lower back injury.Clifford said Kidd-Gilchrist is day to day.Hes sore, Clifford said. He wanted to keep playing. But he was laboring out there and we cant have him hurt. Hes been sore. Hopefully, hell get treatment and well see how he feels.ROAD WOESIndiana is 0-4 on the road this season, losing those games by an average margin of 16.5 points.Pacers coach Nate McMillan said he cant explain his teams inconsistency away from home.We play a really good ballgame (against Miami) and we get on the road and we havent even been in these games, McMillan said. Its something we need to look at.TOUCHING TRIBUTEThe Hornets put together a nice video tribute to Jefferson and showed it on the scoreboard during the first quarter. The crowd responded with a standing ovation. Jefferson played three seasons for the Hornets before signing last offseason with the Pacers.It was very touching. It was cool, Jefferson said. It was good to know that they appreciate the time I spent here. It was cool and I was glad to see it.PICK AND ROLLThe Hornets effectively used the pick and roll to beat the Pacers.It gets back to the same thing -- when were taking 3s when the ball hits the paint and we have the ability to go to the basket, where were very difficult to guard, Clifford said. When we have those possessions where the ball sticks a little bit or its not a good screen or not a good attack and you play around the perimeter ... then you put no pressure on the defense.UP NEXTPacers: Return home to face Philadelphia on Wednesday night, where they are 3-0 this season.Hornets: In the midst of a three-game homestand and host the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night.
