NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- James Posey's driving layup with 1.1 seconds left gave the New Orleans Hornets a 113-111 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night.
Chris Paul scored 10 of his 21 points in the last 4:20 and had 13 assists as the Hornets rallied from a late nine-point deficit to win it on Posey's basket. Taking an inbounds pass, he tried to get the ball to Paul, who wasn't open, so he made the play himself, converting despite being fouled by O.J. Mayo.
After Posey missed the free throw, the Grizzlies called a timeout with 0.9 seconds left, but a lob for Mayo at the rim with 0.9 seconds left was not close.
David West had 21 points and 13 rebounds for the Hornets.
Rudy Gay led Memphis with 26 points. Zach Randolph added 25 points and 12 rebounds.
