Owner Real Deal Posted December 6, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 http://sports.cbsimg.net/u/photos/basketball/nba/img21250337.jpg AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Andre Drummond was drafted to shore up Detroit's interior defense -- and the Cleveland Cavaliers found out just how active the young big man can be around the basket. Drummond had seven points, 12 rebounds and three blocks Monday night as the Pistons won their fifth straight home game, 89-79 over Cleveland. Brandon Knight scored 17 points and Kyle Singler and Tayshaun Prince added 15 apiece for Detroit. The Pistons blocked 13 shots, their most since also reaching that number against Philadelphia on April 15, 2007. "I think being in position, first," coach Lawrence Frank said. "If you're in position, then you can get a block, a charge, a deflection. If you're out of position, you can't even put yourself even in position to block a shot." Detroit is 1-10 on the road but 5-3 at home, and the Pistons have recovered a bit after losing their first eight games of the season. They beat Phoenix by 40 last week in their previous home game, and the victory over Cleveland wasn't really as close as the score indicated. Detroit led 56-39 at halftime after holding the Cavaliers to 29 percent shooting. Cleveland shot 34 percent for the game. Cleveland was without guard Dion Waiters, who sat out with a sprained left ankle. Anderson Varejao had 17 points and 18 rebounds for the Cavs.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20121203_CLE@DET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
