\nadded 17, helping the Atlanta Hawks<\/a> snap a two-game skid with a 104-96 victory
\nover the Detroit Pistons<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Rodney Stuckey<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> missed two jump shots in the final 1:14 but still led the

\nand Greg Monroe<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> scored 17 for Detroit, which has lost seven straight on the road
\nand is 7-28 away from home.<\/p>\n

Since losing by seven at home to Oklahoma City on March 4, the Hawks had
\nbeen beaten by an average of 16.2 points in their last six defeats.<\/p>\n

Atlanta took its biggest lead at 14 when Kirk Hinrich\u2019s<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> reserve layup made
\nit 72-58 with 5:08 left in the third. The Pistons came within two in the first
\nminute of the fourth on a 3-pointer by Charlie Villanueva<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> that made it 79-77.<\/p>\n

By the 7:27 mark of the fourth, Horford, one of six Hawks to score in double
\nfigures, banked in a jumper on a hard foul by Villanueva, completing a
\nthree-point play for an 11-point lead.<\/p>\n

Horford finished with 10 rebounds for his 32nd double-double.<\/p>\n

Smith banked in a left-handed runner with 52.1 seconds over Austin Daye<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> to
\nbeat the shot-clock buzzer and give the Hawks a 100-95 lead.<\/p>\n

Johnson matched Stuckey with a game-high eight assists and reserve center
\nZaza Pachulia<\/a>(notes)<\/a><\/span> added 13 points and was 9 for 10 on free-throw attempts.<\/p>\n

Atlanta had dropped 12 of 18 following after Miami left Philips Arena with a
\n21-point loss Friday. Detroit, which was coming off consecutive wins for the
\nfirst time since Feb. 4-5, has lost 12 of 17.<\/p>\n

Notes: Nine of the Hawks\u2019 last 10 games have been at home. They are 4-5 in
\nthat span. Atlanta hosts Chicago on Tuesday. \u2026 Detroit has used 19 starting
\nlineups. \u2026 The Pistons fell to 4-27 when trailing after the first quarter,
