    AUBURN HILLS, Michigan (Ticker) -- The Detroit Pistons weren'tgoing to become the second straight NBA heavyweight to fallvictim to the Atlanta Hawks.


    Chauncey Billups scored 22 points, leading the Pistons to ahard-fought, 92-91, victory over the Hawks Sunday night.

    Atlanta, which defeated the Dallas Mavericks, 101-94, on Friday,held a 69-60 advantage over Detroit after three quarters andheld a five-point lead after Tyronn Lue hit a jumper with 7:35remaining to give the Hawks a 77-72 lead.


    After Jarvis Hayes answered with a layup two possessions later,Billups scored six points during a 16-4 run over the next 5:31to turn the five-point deficit into a 88-81 advantage.

    But the Hawks refused to fold, going on a 7-1 run over the next90 seconds to move to within 89-88, capped by a 3-pointer by JoeJohnson. Billups hit two free throws with 16 seconds remainingto extend the lead to 91-88.


    The Hawks' Josh Smith was able to draw a foul on Rasheed Wallaceon the ensuing possession on a 3-point attempt and hit all<div class="pre">three free throws to knot the game at 91-91 with seven seconds</div>left in the contest.


    After Detroit called a 20-second timeout, Billups was able todrive the lane and draw a foul on Atlanta's Marvin Williams with1.9 seconds remaining. He hit the first attempt and missed thesecond, leading to a desperation half-court heave by Smith thatwas well off.


    Johnson scored 23 points and Williams added 22 for the Hawks.

    AUBURN HILLS, Michigan (Ticker) -- The Detroit Pistons weren'tgoing to become the second straight NBA heavyweight to fallvictim to the Atlanta Hawks.


    Chauncey Billups scored 22 points, leading the Pistons to ahard-fought, 92-91, victory over the Hawks Sunday night.

    Atlanta, which defeated the Dallas Mavericks, 101-94, on Friday,held a 69-60 advantage over Detroit after three quarters andheld a five-point lead after Tyronn Lue hit a jumper with 7:35remaining to give the Hawks a 77-72 lead.


    After Jarvis Hayes answered with a layup two possessions later,Billups scored six points during a 16-4 run over the next 5:31to turn the five-point deficit into a 88-81 advantage.

    But the Hawks refused to fold, going on a 7-1 run over the next90 seconds to move to within 89-88, capped by a 3-pointer by JoeJohnson. Billups hit two free throws with 16 seconds remainingto extend the lead to 91-88.


    Billups gave credit to the Pistons' bench players for helpingthe club get back into the game.


    "They regained control of the game for us," Billups said."(Jason) Maxiell and Flip (Murray) made plays and Jarvis hit acouple of big shots down the stretch. Then we were able to comeback in and get the win."


    The Hawks' Josh Smith was able to draw a foul on Rasheed Wallaceon the ensuing possession on a 3-point attempt and hit all<div class="pre">three free throws to knot the game at 91-91 with seven seconds</div>left in the contest.


    After Detroit called a 20-second timeout, Billups was able todrive the lane and draw a foul on Atlanta's Marvin Williams with1.9 seconds remaining. He hit the first attempt and missed thesecond, leading to a desperation half-court heave by Smith thatwas well off.


    Atlanta coach Mike Woodson wasn't pleased with the call byreferee Kevin Fehr.


    "I didn't think Kevin had a good look because it seemed like hewas blocked, but he made the call, we have to live with it andtry to build on it," Woodson said. "I thought our guys gave agreat effort tonight. We just came up on the short end."

    Johnson scored 23 points and Williams added 22 for the Hawks,who 45 percent (33-of-72) and committed 19 turnovers.

    Six turnovers in the fourth quarter hurt the Hawks.

    "That was a huge difference maker," Woodson said. "The fourthquarter turnovers came at critical times. When you're in aback-and-forth game like that, you have to at least get shots."

    Johnson agreed.


    "It's a tough loss because we fought so hard," he said. "We wereup by nine after three quarters but they turned up the pressureand got back in the game.


    "We have to protect the ball a little better than we didtonight, especially in crunch time. I thought we were reallycareless with the ball and had key mistakes that pretty muchcost us the game."


    After missing the first two game to attend the birth of hisfirst child, Pistons guard Richard Hamilton scored 14 of his 22points in the first half.


    "I was a little over-excited," Hamilton said. "The one thing Iwanted to do was get some easy baskets to get the motor going,and the guys got me the ball in a position to get some easyones."
