DALLAS — Looking around the arena, there is a lot of teal and gold sprinkled throughout the place. I wonder if many Oklahoma City fans made the drive to see the Hornets. There was a small group that Brandon Bass was nice enough to wait on and greet as they walked down the stands to meet him near the tunnel. After he finished signing autographs for them he told me they were from Oklahoma. But there are also a lot of Chris Paul jerseys and other Hornets gear in the building.
