11/08/2008 - New Orleans, LA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chris Paul had 21 points, 13 assists and seven rebounds on a record-breaking night as the New Orleans Hornets got past the Miami Heat, 100-89.

Dwyane Wade scored 30 points and had 10 assists for the Heat, who had a two- game win streak broken. Chris Quinn had 14 points in defeat.

A jam from Udonis Haslem had the Heat within 95-87 with 2 1/2 minutes remaining, but Stojakovic responded with a three-pointer to essentially seal the victory.

Ahead by just a point after the first quarter, the Hornets opened breathing room in the second. Michael Beasley's bucket gave the Heat the lead at the start of the second quarter, but New Orleans scored the ensuing 11 points. James, Rasual Butler and Peterson each hit three-pointers during the run for a 35-25 advantage.

The Hornets led by as many as 17 later in the second, but Miami had the final six to claw within 47-36 at intermission.

A pair of Paul free throws moved the Hornets to a 63-49 lead midway through the third before Miami came within 74-66 going to the fourth.
