DETROIT (AP) - Professional basketball Hall of Famer Dave Bing has been re-elected Detroit mayor.
The 65-year-old Democrat defeated accountant Tom Barrow in Tuesday's nonpartisan general election.
Bing's NBA career lasted 12 seasons, nine with the Detroit Pistons.
As mayor, he has laid off workers and demanded a 10 percent wage cut to help address the city's ongoing budget deficit.
It was the fourth time Detroit voters cast ballots this year for mayor.
