Jacobsen, Jackson Vroman and Maciej Lampe were obtained by the Hornets on Friday in a trade with the Phoenix Suns for guard Jim Jackson, who had refused to report. While Vroman and Lampe both dressed but did not play Saturday night against the Los Angeles Clippers, Jacobsen made his debut and scored one point in 10 minutes. After the game, the Hornets boarded their charter plane for Miami. "I really haven't time to collect my thoughts," Jacobsen said before Sunday's game. "I haven't even unpacked. When I arrived in New Orleans Saturday, I set my bag down and a car comes to take us to the game. I haven't been able to return 25 to 30 phone messages from friends and family wanting to hear how everything happened." The Hornets are not scheduled to practice today, but Jacobsen said he will be going to the Alario Center anyway to go over more plays with the coaching staff. Vroman and Lampe also are expected to attend. "I've already picked up a few things from being in the games," Jacobsen said. "I can read the playbook all I want, but until you actually get on the court for games or practice, it's still going to be foreign to me. I'm going to practice (today) to get ready." Jacobsen led the Hornets with seven rebounds and he scored nine points in 32 minutes Sunday. Lampe played 15 minutes and scored two points and grabbed three rebounds. Vroman played 12 minutes and scored two points. MORE RECOVERY TIME: Forward David West remains more than a week away from returning from a bone bruise in his right knee that has forced him to miss 26 games since Dec. 7. West participated in a practice last week and experienced swelling. "It's still bothering him, and I saw him limping," Hornets coach Byron Scott said. West had his leg stretched with a large ice bag over his injured knee during the end of Friday's practice at the Alario Center. He made the trip to Miami with the team. NOT IN ROTATION: Forward George Lynch has recovered from a sore right foot that forced him to miss five games. But he remains watching from the bench. "He's not in the rotation, and that's the bottom line," Scott said. "I've got an eight- and nine-man rotation right now." LARGE MARGIN: The Heat's 29-point margin of victory is its largest against the Hornets in the 58-game series. BAD PLACE: It was the Hornets' first return to AmericanAirlines Arena since they lost to the Heat in Game 7 of last season's first-round playoff series. POOR DEFENSE: The Hornets surrendered 50-percent shooting by the Heat. The Heat also outscored the Hornets 42-32 in the post and had a 17-6 edge in second-chance points. INJURY UPDATE: Baron Davis missed his fourth consecutive game because of a bruised right Achilles tendon. He is expected to return for Wednesday night's game against the Houston Rockets at New Orleans Arena. . . . . . . . John Reid can be reached at [email protected] or (504) 826-3405. --
