CHARLOTTE, N.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 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.
