Tim Hardaway Jr. made a tying three-point basket with 3.3 seconds remaining in regulation and scored nine points in overtime, including the go-ahead free throw, to lift the host Atlanta Hawks to a 114-112 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night.

Hardaway made the first of two free throws with 10.8 seconds remaining in overtime for a 113-112 lead. Paul Millsap grabbed the missed free-throw try before Dennis Schroder also made only one of two free throws with 3.9 seconds remaining.

Millsap scored a season-high 32 points and had 13 rebounds to help the Hawks end at 11 a string of consecutive losses to the Spurs dating to 2010. Mike Budenholzer, in his fourth season as Atlanta’s coach, had been 0-6 against Spurs Coach Gregg Popovich, his former boss.
