With Atlanta fans still recovering from the disappointing lost last weekend, as the Falcons lost to the Packers, the Hawks game tonight probably didn't make Atlanta fans feel any better.  Standing in 5th place in the Eastern Conference and after a very impressive victory over the Miami Heat, the Hawks had a very embarrassing and disappointing lost tonight in Atlanta against the New Orleans Hornets.  With Hawks powerful center Al Horford out the Hawks struggled and the game was no where near close with the Hawks losing at home 59-100.  The game tonight was the lowest scoring game in Atlanta history and is sure to be a game that the fans will never forget.  After this devastating lost hopefully the Hawks will be able to bounce back in their next game against the Charlotte Bobcats tomorrow night in Charlotte.  Chris Paul had 16 points and 8 assist in the Hornets 6th straight victory tonight against the Hawks.
