SAN ANTONIO -- Becky Hammon and the San Antonio Silver Stars finally broke out of their slump, and they needed overtime to do it.

Hammon scored 12 of her 32 points in overtime and the San Antonio Silver Stars beat the Detroit Shock 100-88 on Saturday.

San Antonio forced overtime when Sophia Young hit a 14-footer with 2 seconds left to tie the game at 79. Deanna Nolan had a shot to win at the end of regulation, but her jumper bounced off the rim.

"The shots went down today," said Hammon. "Sophia (Young), Ann (Wauters), and Ruth (Riley) played great minutes, as it came down to timely buckets, and we had some big ones tonight.

With the game tied at 83, Hammon took over hitting back-to-back 3-pointers to help San Antonio pull out the win. She bounced back from a scoreless performance in Thursday's loss to Indiana to also have nine assists.
