He played the entire first and third quarters and sat out the other two, finishing with 11 assists and nine points. <p>    Hornets coach Byron Scott said he was trying to keep Paul fresh after a long summer in which Paul helped the U.S. Olympic team win gold in Beijing. <p>    It was the first of two games between the Hornets and Wizards in the NBA's annual preseason tour of Europe. They will meet again on Friday in Barcelona. <p>    The injury-plagued Wizards did not score until 5 minutes into the game when Darius Songalia scored off an offensive rebound. <p>    The Hornets built on their lead in the second quarter, relying largely on their reserves. <p>    Hornets reserve forward Rasual Butler scored 12 points. <p>    James Posey hit a 3-pointer as the Hornets closed the first half with a 9-0 run to take a 61-24 lead into the break. <p>    For the Wizards, the European tour is a chance to test their rookies and learn to work with a short bench. Three key Wizards players remained in Washington to nurse injuries. <p>    Washington outscored the Hornets 22-15 in the third quarter, led by guard DeShawn Stevenson's three 3-pointers. Stevenson hit five 3-pointers and finished with 15 points. </p> </font></div></td> </tr> </table> <table width="50%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"> <tr> <td
