NEW ORLEANS (Ticker) -- Chris Paul and the New Orleans Hornetsknew they were gold when they reached overtime.


Paul scored a career-high 43 points, including the go-aheadbasket in the waning seconds, and handed out nine assists as theHornets needed extra time to edge the Memphis Grizzlies,118-116, on Friday.


David West scored 27 points and Tyson Chandler had 13 and 19rebounds for New Orleans, which has won 12 straight in extraperiods.


The Hornets also had a good feeling when they reached thecentury mark, having won seven in a row when they score 100points.


Prior to this overtime triumph, New Orleans had been 2-0 inextra-period games this season, including a 120-118 victory overthe Grizzlies on November 17 when West scored a career-high 40points.


It was Paul who surpassed the 40-point mark on Friday as the2005-06 NBA Rookie of the Year connected on 15-of-27 from thefloor, including 5-of-7 from 3-point range.


Paul got things going in the extra period when his three-pointplay just 10 seconds in gave the Hornets a 110-107 lead. NewOrleans upped its lead to five when Chandler slammed home analley-oop pass from Paul with 4:16 left in OT.


Paul made a 16-foot jumper with 2:19 left to give the Hornets a116-111 lead before Rudy Gay reeled off five straight points,including a shot from the arc with 23 seconds left, to knot thescore at 116-116.


However, Paul, whose previous career high was 35 vs. Minnesotaon November 18, 2006, made a driving layup with 1.8 left on theclock to win the game.


On the game's final possession, Memphis star Pau Gasol lost ofthe ball out of bounds as time expired.


The Hornets shot 46 percent (46-of-101) after a season-low 35percent in a 91-76 loss to Detroit on Wednesday.


Gay scored a career high-tying 31 points and Mike Miller andGasol each scored 26 for Memphis, which shot 56 percent(44-of-79) but has dropped eight of nine to New Orleans.

David West scored 27 points and Tyson Chandler had 13 and 19rebounds for New Orleans, which has won 12 straight in extraperiods.


"Maybe, we should just play every game in overtime," Chandlerjoked after the game.

"It actually didn't feel like it," Paul said of his career-highperformance. "This season is all about no excuses. We go outwith what we got."


Paul got things going in the extra period when his three-pointplay just 10 seconds in gave the Hornets a 110-107 lead. NewOrleans upped its lead to five when Chandler slammed home analley-oop pass from Paul with 4:16 left in OT.

On the game's final possession, Memphis star Pau Gasol lost the ballout of bounds as time expired.


"They just finished up a little better then we did," Gasol said."We will come back with pride (Saturday) and try and get onewin on this road trip and build on that."
