NEW ORLEANS, May 6 (UPI) -- New Orleans rode Chris Paul's 30 points and 12 assists to a 102-84 win over San Antonio Monday and a 2-0 lead in their Western Conference semifinal series.

Peja Stojakovic added 25 points, including 12 in the key third quarter when the Hornets broke the game open. After trailing 43-42 at halftime, the Hornets scored the first 10 points of the third period and went on to a 60-41 bulge.

Tim Duncan scored 18 points and had eight rebounds for the Spurs, who are the defending NBA champs and haven't lost the first two games of a post-season series in seven years. Brent Barry had 14 points, Manu Ginobili 13 and Tony Parker 11 in defeat.

Game 3 of the best-of-seven series is Thursday in San Antonio.
