<p>The New Jersey Nets put an end to their three-game losing streak Wednesday night with a 103-101 overtime victory over the New Orleans Hornets. The home team sent the visitors to their fourth straight loss.</p>
<p>Sasha Vujacic powered the Nets with 25 points off the bench. Brook Lopez added 20 while Anthony Morrow had 15 including nine from beyond the arc.</p>
<p>The Hornets were led by David West's game-high 32 points and 15 rebounds. Willie Green scored 19, putting New Orleans ahead with a tie-breaking three in the final two minutes.</p>
<p>New Jersey is now back to .500 at the Prudential Center (13-13), but they didn't make it easy on themselves. The Nets held a two point lead with three minutes to go before the Hornets reeled off seven straight points. The home team came back thanks to a three from Jordan Farmar and a slam from Kris Humphries. The Hornets had a chance to win it at the end of regulation, but David West's jumper was short.</p>
<p>In overtime, Lopez scored the deciding points on two free throws with 46 seconds left on the clock. After a turnover by Chris Paul, the Nets gave the ball right back thanks to a five-second violation. New Orleans answered with a missed jumper from Green only to have Humphries miss two free throws and give the Hornets yet another chance. That's when Paul got a wide-open look at a three at the buzzer. The ball was halfway down, but rimmed out, giving the Nets the victory.</p>
<p>New Jersey returns to action Friday night when the Nets travel to Charlotte to take on the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/charlotte-bobcats">Bobcats</a>. </p>
