New Orleans Hornets point guard Chris Paul(notes) (3) drives around New York Knicks point guard Raymond Felton(notes), left, and New York Knicks power forward Amare Stoudemire, right, in the second half of an NBA basketball game in New Orleans, Friday, Dec. 3, 2010. New York defeated New Orleans 100-92 despite 17 points and 10 assists from Paul.

A group calling itself the Hornets Business Council is raising money to buy Hornets' tickets and Thursday encouraged regional businesses and individuals to do the same. Hornets majority owner George Shinn is selling the team to the league, which has sparked worries that the league will in turn sell it to someone who will move it from New Orleans.
