A roundup of the week Feb. 1-7

PRO BASKETBALL—Detroit's Isiah Thomas may be only a rookie, but against Atlanta last week he did something no one in the NBA has ever done: He won a game with a four-point play. After the Hawks had scored 17 straight points. Thomas canned a 25-foot three-pointer and a free throw to give the Pistons a 106-105 win.
