ATLANTA -- — Cade Cunningham returned from injury with 25 points and 10 assists as the Detroit Pistons won their 11th straight game, 120-112 over the short-handed Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night.

Jalen Duren added 24 points for the Pistons (13-2), who have their best start since going 15-2 out of the gates in 2005-06. That team finished 64-18 and reached the Eastern Conference finals. The Pistons have the NBA's longest winning streak this season and their longest since an 11-gamer during the 2007-08 season, the last time they won a playoff series. That team went 59-23 and also reached the East finals.

Duncan Robinson had 14 points including three 3-pointers in the first five minutes for an early spark for the Pistons, who beat Indiana at home on Monday.

Cunningham became the first player in Pistons history with 25-plus points and 10-plus assists in five consecutive games played.

Jalen Johnson had 25 points, eight rebounds, nine assists and three steals for the Hawks (9-6), who snapped a five-game win streak. Atlanta was missing starting forward Zaccharie Risacher with a hip injury from their previous game on Sunday suffered from an awkward fall following a dunk. Star guard Trae Young and starting center Kristaps Porzingis have also been sidelined by knee injuries.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker scored 24 points and Onyeka Okongwu added 21 for the Hawks, who trailed by 19 in the second quarter and 94-80 late in the third before an 18-5 run cut the deficit to one with 6:08 remaining.

Alexander-Walker's two free throws with 1:36 left brought the Hawks within two, but Cunningham, who missed the last three games with a hip injury, answered with a jumper and the Pistons inched away.

Dyson Daniels, who received his Most Improved Player award in a ceremony before the game, had 12 points, nine rebounds, six assists and three steals for the Hawks.
