Mike Conley had 17 points and Marc Gasol scored 16 to lead the Grizzlies, who are battling for first place in the Southwest Division.

It was a little sloppy with 39 turnovers between the teams, said Grizzlies coach David Joerger, whose team had 21 of the turnovers, leading to 19 Atlanta points. Our inability to play offense put us on the run for most of the game. But hats off to them. Theyre really good. They deserved to win tonight. The Hawks, coming off a 3-0 road trip against Western Conference teams, took the lead for good on Al Horfords jumper with 2 1/2 minutes left.

Tyreke Evans chipped in 10 points and seven boards, but committed five turnovers. Coming out of a timeout with 23 seconds remaining, Walker hit a fadeaway jumper over Davis to put Charlotte up 94-92. Davis layup tied the game on the other end, but that left too much time for Walker. With seconds remaining, the Hornets went up again on an acrobatic shot from Walker. He drove to the basket, pulled up for a jumper and hit the shot despite contact from Holiday. His free throw completed the three-point play to give Charlotte a 97-94 lead with 1.4 seconds left. The Hornets stole the inbounds pass to seal the win. We just fell apart, said Pelicans coach Monty Williams. We didnt share the ball, the thing weve been talking about.
