It's easily possible to lose a no-hitter. It's only impossible to lose with a perfect game. There are little things called errors, walks and balks that can contribute to this.
On April 23, 1964, Ken Johnson of the Houston Colt 45's became the only pitcher to lose a complete game no-hitter in nine innings when he was beaten 1-0 by Cincinnati. The winning run was scored by Pete Rose in the top of the ninth inning via an error, groundout, and another error.[7] In 1967, Steve Barber and Stu Miller of the Baltimore Orioles pitched a combined no-hitter, but lost 2-1 to the Detroit Tigers.[8] Three pitchers – Silver King (1890), Andy Hawkins (1990), and Matt Young (1992) – have lost eight-inning unofficial no-hitters where the home team won the game.

1964 - Astros Ken Johnson
1990 - Yankees Andy Hawkins
1992 - Red Sox Matt Young

Yes.
Baseball puts RUNS, not points, on the scoreboard. "Points" are for the lesser sports. Now you know.

It doesn't seem logical; can you pitch a no hitter, and still have a situation where the opposing team gets any points?
