It's a perfect time to get reacquainted with an old friend.

The Hornets are playing superb basketball, with the best record in the powerful Western Conference, and Cox Communications subscribers can watch three of their games in the next six days against Southwest Division rivals — Houston, 7 tonight; San Antonio, 7:30 p.m., Saturday; and Phoenix, 7 p.m. Wednesday, on Cox 7.

Cox is carrying 25 Hornets telecasts this season, with 12 left on the schedule.

"How many sports teams have a 22-year-old who has ownership of the team? He has the leadership. He has the keys to the bus, as they say. Even the veterans follow his lead. It's a very likeable team because of the personalities involved.
