Paul Millsap hit the go-ahead 10-footer with 12.7 seconds left as the Atlanta Hawks overcame Russell Westbrook's 46 points to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 110-108 in NBA action on Tuesday.

After Millsap's shot, Thunder centre Steven Adams rebounded a missed three- pointer by Westbrook and dunked it, but a review determined that the basket came just after time expired.

Westbrook, the NBA's leading scorer with more than 30 points per game, also had 11 rebounds and seven assists.

Dennis Schroder scored 31 points and Millsap added a season-high 30 for the Hawks, who won despite centre Dwight Howard missing the game with tightness in his lower back.

Jerami Grant scored a season-high 15 points, and Andre Roberson matched a season high with 14 points for the Thunder.

Meanwhile, Thaddeus Young scored with 0.9 seconds left to give the Indiana Pacers a 107-105 victory over the Washington Wizards.

Paul George landed 27 points and Jeff Teague had 23, but the Pacers needed the last of Young's 12 points after the Wizards scored seven straight to tie.

With 4.6 seconds remaining, Young took the inbound pass at the top of the key, squared up his defender, Markieff Morris, then drove and put up his runner from the left side.

Bradley Beal missed a potential winning three-pointer at the buzzer and finished with 22 points.

In Chicago, Jimmy Butler scored 19 points, Rajon Rondo had 10 points, 14 assists and eight rebounds, and the Bulls beat the Detroit Pistons 113-82 to snap a three-game losing streak.

Karl-Anthony Towns had 28 points and 15 rebounds, and the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the Phoenix Suns 115-108.

Andrew Wiggins scored 26 points and Zach LaVine added 23 for the Timberwolves. Ricky Rubio had 12 assists and Minnesota picked up its first win at home in a month.

In Denver, Nikola Jokic had 27 points and 15 rebounds while Gary Harris scored a career-high 24 points as the Nuggets beat Dallas 117-107.
