expect that to be the trend in the rest of their meetings this season Sam Cassell scored 29 points and Glenn Robinson added 21 to lead the Bucks who beat Charlotte in seven games in lag season's Eastern Conference semifinals to a lopsided 105-89 victory over the Hornets on Friday night "They're hurt right now that's all" Cassell said "And even so we had to push it to beat them So we know once they have all their bodies on the floor it will be a different story" The Hornets who are already without forward Jamal Mashburn and are at least two weeks away from adding injured George Lynch to the lineup lost leading scorer Baron Davis midway through the third quarter with a knee injury "Once they get healthy we'll see the real Hornets" Robinson said "I know they'll be there to contend with later on" The Bucks who won for the third time have their own injury problems Ray Allen missed his fourth straight game because of tendinitis in his left knee and the Bucks had Charlotte's team doctor look at his MRI results and speak to him after the game "They say there's a bunch of inflammation and a lot of friction from the knee cap rubbing against the bone" Allen said "Rest is the only thing that can heal it I guess and I've been doing that for two weeks It's frustrating but I hope to get back out there in the next few games" Davis meanwhile is having his own knee problems He first injured his right knee in a collision with Michael Jordan on Wednesday night and was clearly bothered by it against the Bucks Missing nine of 10 shots in the first half He then banged his knee again in the third quarter and hopped off the court for good with 8:21 left in the period He finished with seven points on 2-of-11 shooting and is doubtful for Saturday's game against Washington "If I can't play I can't play and right now it hurts" said Davis who is the only player from the 1999 draft who has yet to miss a game The Hornets have now lost five of their last seven games but Charlotte coach Paul Silas could only shrug about it "I have no magical wand that I can wave if I don't have my players we're not a very good team" he said Lee Nailon led Charlotte with 24 points David Wesley added

as successful as we'd hoped" Cartwright said after he was introduced as the team's new head coach Friday "Hopefully some of the changes I'll make will help the guys and put them in situations where they can be more successful" Cartwright replaces Tim Floyd who resigned Monday after going 49-190 in three-plus seasons There's no interim tag attached and general manager Jerry Krause said he'd like
