NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 26 (UPI) -- Peja Stojakovic hit five of his six three-pointers in the fourth quarter Monday and scored 26 points in the New Orleans Hornets' 101-86 win over Philadelphia.

Chris Paul, in his fifth triple-double of the season, had 27 points, 15 assists 10 rebounds and seven steals for New Orleans, which has won four of five and played without starters David West (back) and Tyson Chandler (ankle).

The Hornets made 14-of-31 from three-point range.

Thaddeus Young scored 22 points, Andre Miller 19, and Andre Iguodala 17 for the 76ers, who had won eight of nine before Monday, but hit only 2-of-14 three-point shots.

Elton Brand, in his second game back after a 16-game absence due to a dislocated shoulder, was scoreless in 18 1/2 minutes of play.
