The Hornets had a 17-point lead with four minutes to play and almost let the game get away. David West had 28 points and 12 rebounds for the Hornets, winners of three in a row.

Chris Paul had 27 points and 13 assists Monday night to lead the New Orleans Hornets to a 112-105 victory over Sacramento. Tyson Chandler, who had missed 16 games due to an ankle sprain, returned to the lineup for New Orleans, scoring 15 points and pulling down 10 rebounds.

The New Orleans Hornets said Wednesday a trade that had sent center Tyson Chandler to Oklahoma City has been rescinded. The Oklahoma City medical staff failed to clear Chandler after his physical, so the deal announced Tuesday was called off. Chandler had been sent to the Thunder in exchange for forward Joe Smith, center Chris Wilcox and the draft rights to center DeVon Hardin. We welcome Tyson back with open arms, said Hornets General Manager Jeff Bower.

Chris Paul had 21 points and the game-winning goal with 2.7 seconds left Tuesday, delivering New Orleans a 100-98 win over Oklahoma City. Oklahoma's Kevin Durant scored 47 points and hit a 3-pointer to tie the score just before Paul's final goal. David West led New Orleans with 37 points and 13 rebounds, and hit a long jumper with 57.4 seconds left in the game to give the Hornets a 98-95 lead before Durant tied the score. Earlier in the day, New Orleans sent center Tyson Chandler to the Thunder in exchange for veteran forward Joe Smith, center Chris Wilcox and the draft rights to center Devon Hardin.
