Buzzer beater leads Charlotte past Detroit 109-106
Saturday, November 16, 2019

(CHARLOTTE) - Things haven't always gone the way Malik Monk hoped during his first two seasons with the Charlotte Hornets. Things were a little different Friday as Monk knocked down a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Charlotte Hornets a 109-106 victory over the Detroit Pistons and snapping a four-game losing streak. Monk finished with 19 points on 8 of 12 shooting. His game winning basket came after Pistons point guard Derrick Rose drove the lane and threw the ball away with a second left. Monk, who was the third option on the inbounds play from midcourt, came flying around a screen, caught the pass from Cody Martin and buried the jumper with a smooth stroke. Devonte Graham had 18 points and 10 assists in his second start for Charlotte. Langston Galloway had a career-high 32 points on seven 3-pointers for Detroit, and Andre Drummond added 16 points and 20 rebounds. The Pistons have lost four straight.
