Tyson Chandler tipped in a missed shot with 3.3 seconds left to give New Orleans a 95-94 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night, saving the Hornets after they blew a 17-point lead with four minutes remaining. Charlie Bell capped the Bucks’ comeback with a 3-pointer from the corner – their sixth consecutive 3 in the last 3:22 – as Milwaukee turned an 89-72 deficit into a 94-93 lead with 10.5 seconds left. David West missed a potential game-winner from there lane, but Chandler was there to tip in the miss. Luke Ridnour’s 30-foot heave at the buzzer was nowhere close for the Bucks, who were out of timeouts and had to race the ball up the court after Chandler’s basket.
