It was another one of those nights for the Hornets. The kinda of night where a team that will likely win 50 plus games befuddles you with poor defense, and little offense from someone other than Chris Paul or David West;
What you see if the maddening inconsistency that has plaqued this team all year. Sunday night at home against San Antonio, the Hornets were without a suspended James Posey. Tyson Chandler, and Peja were out.
And, the Hornets responded with a lock down 90-86 win over San Antonio.
Then, there's last night. The Warriors went under the pick and roll, allowing Chris Paul to shoot. He scored 43 points, tying a career high.
But, Paul didn't penetrate as much, and as a result the Hornets didn't shoot enough free throws.
Inside, David West scored 31 points, but Sean Marks couldn't finish when he had numerous chances.
Last night, the Hornets looked like a team that will be an early exit in the playoffs.
