Chris Paul set a new career high with 43 points, including a 2-pointer in the lane with 1.8 seconds left to send the New Orleans Hornets to a 118-116 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in New Orleans Friday night.
The Grizzlies made a late run but fell short, despite 31 points by Rudy Gay and 26 by Pau Gasol and Mike Miller. A final in-bounds pass went off the hands of Gasol, and the Hornets were able to stave off the Griz in the final seconds.
