The New Orleans Hornets defeated the L.A. Clippers 114-92 on Tuesday night to earn their first division title in the team's 20 year history, the Associated Press is reporting.
"A lot of people had us not even getting in the playoffs," New Orleans' center Tyson Chandler said. "I don't think any of us believed that. We all believed that we're one of the better teams in the conference. If you win this division it says a lot about the team because this is the best division in basketball."

The Clippers could lose guard Corey Maggette and forward Elton Brand if the pair decide to opt out of their contracts this summer, according to the Orange County Register.
The players have been teammates in Los Angeles for seven years. Even if they decide to return to the team next season, they will become unrestricted free agents in 2008-09.
Neither has made up his mind, but Maggette insists that opting out doesn't mean he's done with the Clippers.
RealGM Note: As the 64th ranked player by season FIC, Maggette 'deserved' to make $8.96 million during the 2007-08 season.
