 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - David West scored a season-high 32 points and Chris Paul added 19 points and 11 assists to lead the New Orleans Hornets to a 111-107 victory over the New Jersey Nets on Wednesday night.
The Hornets overcame a season-high 46 points from Vince Carter, who along with teammate Jason Kidd has been the subject of persistent trade rumors as Thursday's 3 p.m. trade deadline approaches.
Kidd struggled from the field in what could have been his final game with the Nets, missing nine of his first 10 shots and finishing 2-for-14. Two of his misses came on 3-pointers in the final minute with New Jersey trailing 105-101.
