NEW ORLEANS — Tyson Chandler tipped in a missed shot with 3.3 seconds left to give New Orleans a 95-94 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night, saving the Hornets after they blew a 17-point lead with four minutes remaining.
Richard Jefferson capped the Bucks' comeback with a 3-pointer from the corner — their sixth consecutive 3 in the last 3:22 — as Milwaukee turned an 89-72 deficit into a 94-93 lead with 10.5 seconds left.
David West missed a potential game-winner from there lane, but Chandler was there to tip in the miss off the backboard.
Chris Paul had a season-high 20 assists, and West scored 28 points to lead the Hornets, who won their third straight.
Jefferson finished with 22 and Charlie Bell added 21 for the Bucks.
