Hornets edge Jazz in overtime

NEW Orleans' Emeka Okafor banked in a 20-footer at the regulation buzzer to force overtime, and reserve Aaron Gray scored six points in the extra period to lead the Hornets to a 121-117 win over the Utah Jazz in the NBA yesterday.

David West scored 29 points for the Hornets before being taken off in a wheelchair holding his head and grimacing in pain after going down hard after a dunk that tied the game at 103.

Paul Millsap hit two free throws to put the Jazz ahead 105-103 with 1.3 seconds to go, but Okafor, who had subbed back in when West was injured, managed to get off the game-tying shot.

Millsap had 33 points to lead the Jazz, who have dropped four straight.

Mavericks 104, Timberwolves 96

In Dallas, the hosts rallied for a win over Minnesota that made it 11 straight seasons of at least 50 wins for the Mavericks.

Dirk Nowitzki had 30 points and 11 rebounds and Jason Terry added 18 points for Dallas.

Anthony Randolph had a career-high 31 points with 11 rebounds for the Timberwolves, who've lost their past five games and are without injured All-Star forward Kevin Love. Randolph made his first start of the season in place of Love. Randolph, acquired from the Knicks a month ago, had a 23-point first half, 17 in the second quarter.
