3-point streak now at 35 games for Stojakovic

Peja Stojakovic's streak of consecutive 3-pointers was in jeopardy. He had made at least 1 in 35 straight games, but through 47 minutes on Tuesday night was 1-for-10 from the field with no 3s.

He was due, and the swingman came through.

Stojakovic scored 6 points in the final minute -- a clutch 3-pointer and 3 free throws -- to lift New Orleans past the host Orlando Magic 98-97, giving the Hornets (51-22) their franchise-record 24th road win.

"You have to give yourself a chance," said Stojakovic, eighth on the NBA's career 3-point shooting list. "I always say that. If you don't shoot, you are never going to find out."

Chris Paul had 19 points and 12 assists for the Hornets.

Hedo Turkoglu had 26 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds for Orlando.

Down 98-95 with 9.4 seconds left, the Magic inbounded to Turkoglu. Instead of shooting a 3 to tie, the forward drove the wide open lane for an easy dunk.

The strategy seemed to work. Turkoglu fouled Paul on the inbounds pass, and the all-star missed both free throws, so Orlando had another chance.

Down 1 point with 6.1 seconds left, Turkoglu inbounded to Lewis, who met two defenders off the dribble. He passed to Keyon Dooling, but his buzzer-beating jumper was short.
