NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 7 (UPI) -- Rasual Butler made two 3-pointers during a 17-0 run in the fourth quarter Friday night that rallied the New Orleans Hornets to a 101-92 victory over Toronto.
Peja Stojakovic made 7-of-11 long-range shots and scored a season-high 28 points, helping the Hornets end a four-game losing streak.
Butler and Posey both had 17 points and the Hornets went 8-for-15 from beyond the arc in the final period.
Toronto took an 83-75 lead with 7:02 remaining in the fourth quarter on a jumper by Jermaine O'Neal, but did not score again until just 2:48 was left in the game.
O'Neal scored 24 points to lead Toronto, loser of five straight.
Toronto was without all-star forward Chris Bosh, who sprained his right knee Wednesday in a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. New Orleans was missing Chris Paul, who suffered a groin injury Monday in a loss to Portland.
