The Hornets were undisciplined, uninspired, unsatisfactory, & gave an unacceptable performance. They were unfocused & the result was unavoidable. Their performance last night enhanced the growing number of unbelievers. They appeared unarmed to do anything against the Spurs. They seemed unable to stem the tide all night long. To say that they were underwhelming would be an understatement. They were unbalanced, with only Chris Paul stepping up. They are in an unaccustomed position—facing the world champions in a tied series with pressure on. They need to unburden themselves of self-imposed pressure. They need to understand the magnitude of the situation. Fortunately, it was just one game. They are still on-serve in the series. Let us take a look inside the numbers: 

**Had been averaging 102 points in the playoffs, 80 last night
**Outscored 40-36 in the paint
**Outrebounded 45-38
**Outshot 51% to 40%
**Allowed the Spurs to shoot 61% in first half

**Peja—3 of 9 field goals, 0-1 three-point
**West—4 of 15 field goals, 10 points, 5 rebounds
**Mo Pete—2 of 8 field goals, 7 points
**Pargo—4 of 14 field goals
**Outscored 30-19 in 3rd quarter
**Outscored 24-15 beyond the arc
**Starters benched for entire 4th quarter
**It was like watching a “D” league game on a high-end Cable
    Channel in the 4th quarter

**Hornets have won 17 of 18 at home & all 5 playoff games
