Chris Paul overcame a lackluster first three quarters and reminded New Orleans what it has missed most since he was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers -- a player who takes over when it matters. Paul scored eight of his 17 points in the final minute, when he also made a key defensive stop, and finished with 14 assists to help the Clippers erase a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit and beat the hapless Hornets 96-93 on Friday night.
