1st January 2007
(20-9) NOK @ DAL (19-10)
97-94
After beating Denver two nights ago in New Orleans, the Hornets started off the new year 2007 with a loss to Southwest Divison rivls the Dallas Mavericks. The Hornets, who have only beaten the Mavs in a pre-season game, were simply not good enough for Jason Terry and Nowitzki.
Terry scored 28 points and dished out 3 assists. Terry lead like a champion and there was no stopping him from the first whistle. Dirk Nowitzki pulled down 10 rebounds and tallied 18 points to complete his double-double. Nowitzki, who said "we can definently win the Championship back this year" got the Mavericks up and running with 9 points in the first quarter, all from three-point range.
Chris Paul had a bad night, with just 7 points and 9 assists. The second-year Point-Guard out of Wake Forest kept his head held high though and he said "tonight was just a minor blip, we will be back to full strength next game" Carlos Boozer was top-scorer for New Orleans with 16 baskets, he also pulled down 10 rebounds for his double-double. Kapono assisted him in the scoring tally with 11 of his own.
Player Of The Game - Jason Terry - 28pts, 1reb, 3assists
