If streaks didn't end they'd just be called norms. Unfortunately, this streak was not destined to become the norm. Maybe the fact that two former New Orleans NBA teams (Jazz and Hornets) were playing each other in a city not called New Orleans was a bad omen. And so, for the first time in the four games I've been to this season, the Hornets lost. It was particularly a bummer because the loss wasn't respectable. They really LOST the game... Utah didn't win it, they just successfully avoided losing by capitalizing on Hornets errors.
The Hornets were in the lead by significant margins for more than three quarters. It wasn't until there was six-something remaining in the fourth quarter that Utah went ahead. But it wasn't like Utah stepped up the pressure or anything, the Hornets just started making ridiculous mistakes left and right, not the least of which was the fact that their shooting went bye-bye. Utah shot terribly the entire game, but they got away with it once the Hornet also lost their ability to shoot. Not that I claim to know squat about basketball. So no comment spam from you bball connoisseurs.
UPDATE 25-FEB: Paybacks
Today, in Utah, the Hornets defeated the Jazz 100-95. It was the least they could do to make up for the events of Wednesday.
