 NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Tyson Chandler keeps finding ways to put his 7-foot-1 body in the right spot — and now he's putting the New Orleans Hornets back in the thick of the playoff race.
Even though the Hornets shot 37.1 percent, Chandler's 19 rebounds — 10 on the offensive end — helped New Orleans hold on for a 98-97 victory over the Seattle SuperSonics on Friday night.
"The ones he couldn't get he tipped out. He's one of the best in the league in rebounding," Seattle's Nick Collison said. "I felt like a lot of times I was in good position between him and the basket, but he just went over my back. There's not a lot you can do on those plays. Maybe yell and scream and hope the ref bails you out, but they didn't do that tonight."
