Barbara Barker of Newsday reports that the Hornets took note of Lee Nailon?s celebration. Then they did something about it.

The Knicks? Lee Nailon hit a jumper with 50 seconds left giving New York a 4-point lead over his former team. Nailon pumped his fist and let his emotions show as he went back down the court. Baron Davis and the Hornets fought back, forced the game into overtime and won 97-91.

"I thought we were going to win it," said Nailon, who finished with 18 points. "They hit some big shots down the stretch."

Davis said that Nailon was doing a lot of talking when the Knicks held a 14-point lead. "I didn't want him to be talking at the end of the game," Davis said. Davis hit three clutch three-pointers down the stretch to help bring the Hornets back.

He could see the tension on the Knicks? faces as they mounted their comeback. "They tensed up a little bit," he said. "I saw it and I tried to exploit it."
