New Orleans 92, Orlando 89

Marcus Thornton scored a season-high 22 points Wednesday, including a go-ahead jumper with 37 seconds left in overtime, leading the New Orleans Hornets to a 92-89 victory over the Orlando Magic, who had a nine-game winning streak snapped.
 
Orlando, which had not lost since Dec. 21, fell one short of a team record for consecutive wins.
 
Dwight Howard, who had 29 points and 20 rebounds, missed two free throws with 11.6 seconds remaining and the Magic trailing, 90-89. Thornton's two foul shots with 8.2 seconds left put the Hornets up three.
 
Orlando called timeout to set up a tying shot, but J.J. Redick's 3-pointer was an airball.
 
Hedo Turkoglu's 3-pointer with 6.9 seconds remaining capped a furious comeback by the Magic from a 79-72 deficit in the final minute of regulation. Jason Richardson hit two 3-pointers around a free throw by Emeka Okafor. When Chris Paul split a pair from the line, he left the door open for Turkoglu to tie it.

New Orleans' David West missed a fadeaway jumper at the buzzer and the game went into overtime.
 
Thornton was pressed into service when starting guard Marco Belinelli sprained his right ankle a little over a minute into the game and did not return.
 
Okafor scored 18 points and Trevor Ariza added 16 for New Orleans (23-16). Paul had 12 points and 13 assists.
 
Richardson scored 21 points for Orlando (25-13).
