West was 10-of-12 from the field as the Hornets improved to 6-0 while holding Milwaukee to 39 percent shooting from the field.
Chris Paul and Marco Belinelli had 14 points apiece for New Orleans. Trevor Ariza and Emeka Okafor chipped in with 11 points each.
Milwaukee’s Andrew Bogut had 19 points and 13 rebounds one night after missing a game against Indiana due to migraine headaches.

New Orleans shot 44.9 percent from the field, a figure helped greatly by West’s shooting performance. The rest of the Hornets shot just 36.8 percent (21-for-57).
