The Hornets played no defense as the Sonics hit an amazing 54.5% from the floor for the game.  But the worst part of this game is that Chris Paul went down with an ankle injury after only playing 11 minutes.  He did not return and wound up with 2 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists.  Jannero Pargo picked it up without Paul in the game and would up with 23 points and 5 assists.  Desmond Mason had a solid game with 21 points and 7 rebounds.  Tyson Chandler had a great night in the paint with 14 points and 11 rebounds.  Devin Brown had a great game off the bench with 16 points and 9 rebounds.  Rasual Butler had an awful shooting night (2 of 15) and wound up with 8 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

The Hornets fell to 11-16 on the season with this loss.
