OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 28 (UPI) -- Chris Paul and Desmond Mason combined for four free throws in the final 14 seconds Wednesday night as the New Orleans' Hornets beat Atlanta, 107-100.
It was the Hornets sixth straight win on their home courts -- including one in New Orleans. They play the majority of their home contests in Oklahoma City, Okla., in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
