Hornets 88, Jazz 86: Greivis Vasquez's driving lay-in snapped a tie with 1.3 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter as host New Orleans won despite seeing top overall pick Anthony Davis exit with a possible concussion.

After Paul Millsap's 3-pointer with 7.1 seconds left tied the contest at 86-86, Vasquez wasted no time by splitting Utah's defense for the game-winning shot.
