Atlanta Hawks at Detroit Pistons
· National Basketball AssociationYoung's fadeaway with 1.6 seconds left lifts Hawks to slump-busting 132-130 win over Pistons
Young helped the Hawks end an eight-game losing streak.
Cade Cunningham had 30 points and 14 assists for the Pistons, who failed to attempt a shot on their final possession.
Atlanta's De’Andre Hunter had 20 points and rookie Zaccharie Risacher added 17 points.
Detroit's Tobias Harris scored 22, Jalen Duren had 18 points and nine rebounds and Malik Beasey scored 18.
Pistons: Beasley has been a bargain with a $6 million, one-year contract. He's on pace to break the team's single-season record for 3-pointers. Beasley made six shots beyond the arc against the Hawks to give him 191 3-pointers this season to tie Alan Houston (1995-96) and close in on Saddiq Bey's franchise-record 211 set three years ago.
