The Commish, David Stern has announced that the NOK Hornets will go back to being the NO Hornets. After the natural disaster that befell New Orleans last year, the NBA rescheduled Hornets games to Oklahoma City -- the first time OKC has had a major league professional sports team. The fans loved the Hornets -- with an average match attendance of 18,717 last season. However, according to Stern, after next season (6 in NO and 35 in OKC) all 41 home games will be played in New Orleans each season. As New Orleans rebuilds itself to its former glory, this will no doubt renew calls from OKC fans for the relocation of Seattle's Sonics.
