The Hornets didn’t play any defense last night as the Jazz shot 50.6% from the floor and that’s the biggest reason for the loss last night. Jannero Pargo led the way for the Hornets with 24 points and 2 steals in 27 minutes last night. Morris Peterson had a solid night also with 16 points and 2 rebounds. Peja Stojakovic and David West each pitched in with 12 points apiece. The Hornets are now 32-15 on the season.
