Bojan Bogdanovic poured in 30 points, Killian Hayes hit two pivotal 3-pointers in overtime and the host Detroit Pistons downed the Dallas Mavericks 131-125 on Thursday night.

Hayes finished with 22 points and eight assists as Detroit ended a three-game losing streak. Marvin Bagley III supplied 19 points and 13 rebounds and Jaden Ivey contributed 16 points and six assists.

Luka Doncic's 35 points and 10 assists led Dallas. Tim Hardaway Jr. had 26 points and Christian Wood had 25 points and eight rebounds.

Ivey drained a 3-point shot with two minutes left in overtime to give Detroit a 125-123 lead. After a Wood dunk, Hayes hit a 3-pointer. Hardaway misfired from deep, and Hayes then fired another long ball from the wing to clinch it.

Doncic scored 14 first-quarter points as the first quarter ended in a 36-36 tie. Doncic made a 3-pointer with two minutes left in the half to give Dallas a 60-54 lead. Detroit scored the last seven points of the half to take a 61-60 halftime advantage.

Doncic drained back-to-back 3-pointers sandwiching a Pistons turnover to give his team a 73-70 lead.

The Pistons scored the next eight points and after Dallas caught up again, Bogdanovic went on a personal 8-0 run to give his club an 86-80 lead.

That advantage swelled to 12 points later in the quarter and Detroit carried a 99-89 lead into the fourth.

It didn't last long, as the Mavs began the quarter on a 15-4 run.

Dallas then went cold for more than 4 1/2 minutes while the Pistons reeled off 10 unanswered points for a 113-104 lead. Hayes capped it off with a pair of jumpers.

After Wood dunked to end the Mavs' drought, Hayes hit another mid-range shot.

Doncic missed two free throws with a minute left, but the Mavs got the rebound and he buried a 3-pointer to cut the Pistons' lead to two. After an Alec Burks miss, Reggie Bullock made a layup to knot the score at 117-apiece with 23 seconds left. Detroit's Isaiah Stewart then missed a 3-point try, forcing overtime.
