"Hornets Coach Monty Williams admitted before Sunday night's game he made a mistake by not pushing harder for New Orleans to re-sign shooting guard Willie Green once the NBA lockout ended last December. Green instead signed with Sunday's opponent, the Atlanta Hawks.

And Williams could have hoped that the Atlanta training staff wouldn't have been so successful in rehabbing a rolled left ankle that drove Hawks' starting point guard Jeff Teague off the floor in Atlanta's win at Detroit on Friday night."
