Chased from their home by Hurricane Katrina, the New Orleans Hornets have found a temporary refuge and a fresh start. The Hornets announced plans Wednesday to play 35 home games in Oklahoma City and six others in Baton Rouge, La., after a relocation agreement was approved by the city council. The New Orleans Arena sustained extensive water damage from the hurricane and will take months to repair.
