OAKLAND, Calif.(AP) Chris Paul drove for the go-ahead layup with 19.4 seconds left and finished with 21 points and 11 assists in the New Orleans Hornets' perilous 108-103 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night.

After going 7-0 in the NBA's first unbeaten preseason in six years, New Orleans stayed perfect despite falling apart down the stretch against Golden State. After Paul's jumper gave the Hornets a six-point lead with 5:47 left, they went nearly four minutes between points while the Warriors went ahead 101-100 on a jumper by Corey Maggette, who had 27 points in his Golden State debut.

Paul put the Hornets back ahead twice in the final 65 seconds, including his driving layup through the heart of Golden State's defense. David West led New Orleans with 24 points, while Peja Stojakovic added 16.
