"Center Chris Kaman sat slumped in his chair in the New Orleans Hornets' locker room Monday afternoon, trying to figure out why they are committing too many turnovers and not making enough shots to give themselves a chance.

After committing 19 turnovers and shooting less than 40 percent for most of the game, the Hornets lost to the Portland Trail Blazers 84-77 in a Martin Luther King Day matinee game in front of 14,758 at the New Orleans Arena."
