AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Ben Gordon scored 22 points and Rodney Stuckey added 20 as the new-look Detroit Pistons remained undefeated in the preseason with a 100-91 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday night.

Marvin Williams led the Hawks (1-1) with 19 points, while Othello Hunter had 14 and rookie Jeff Teague scored 12.

The Pistons used Stuckey’s buzzer-beating jumper to take a 49-46 lead at the half, and then moved their advantage to 75-66 on Gordon’s 30-footer at the end of the third period.

The teams combined to commit 57 fouls, leading to 59 free throws.
