Hornets' Nicolas Batum: Double-double in Saturday's OT loss

Batum scored 15 points (6-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 0-3 FT) while adding 12 assists, eight rebounds, three steals and a block in 41 minutes during Saturday's overtime loss to the Timberwolves.

Analysis:

Since missing a game with a corneal abrasion last Saturday, Batum is shooting just 32.6 percent (14-or-43) from the floor, but the rest of his game has returned to form quickly. The double-double was his third of the season.
