Baron's Hurricane Relief

The Warriors won there third game in a row tonight beating the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets 99-83. Jason Richardson didn’t shoot well tonight but he still finished tied with the game high score of 17 by himself, Baron Davis and Derek Fisher. Troy Murphy also chipped in 16 points and 10 rebounds. Unfortunately Ike Diogu didn’t get into double digit scoring again tonight, but they didn’t need it because other people were scoring inside. Baron Davis’ hamstring definitely looks 100% now. He had two excellent dunks, one was while being fouled and he also converted a lay-up while being fouled. So things are looking up for the Warriors. The story of the game though is regarding Baron Davis. Baron Davis played is first 5 and a half seasons for the New Orleans Hornets before being traded to the Golden State Warriors last year at the trade deadline and so he has ties to New Orleans. Due to that Baron Davis decided before this game that he would donate $500 for every point he scored in the game, all going for Hurricane Katrina Relief. So Baron finished this game 17 points for a total of $8,500 on the night. If you add that to the $50,000 he already donated plus the $22,000 he made on wheel of fortune for Katrina relief, his grand total becomes over $80,000. I just want to commend Baron Davis, not only does he dish out assists to teammates, but also assists the community. Congratulations Baron.
