Bobby Jackson made a career-high seven 3-pointers and finished with 25 points, helping the New Orleans Hornets roll to a 114-88 victory over the hapless Miami Heat on Friday night.

Jackson, who made all nine of his shots, became the first Hornets player ever to make seven 3-pointers without missing one. That also tied Jackson for third in NBA history for most 3s in a game without a miss, two shy of Latrell Sprewell's record.

New Orleans (24-12), off to its best 36-game start in team history, made 13 3-pointers and shot 61 percent overall in winning for the ninth time in 11 games. Miami (8-28) is still trying to end a losing skid that has reached 10 games.

Tyson Chandler scored 19 points for the Hornets, throwing down a handful of alley-oop lobs from guards Chris Paul and Jannero Pargo.

Mark Blount led Miami with 27 points, while Jason Williams scored 12 and Dwyane Wade 11.
