The Detroit Pistons (27 - 24) held on for a home win over the New York Knicks (23 - 29) Thursday night at The Palace of Auburn Hills, 111 - 105. The Pistons opened the game with a 12 - 2 run and led from the opening basket until the Knicks came back to tie the game at 95 - 95 with 2:45 to go in the game despite Detroit leading by over 20 points in the second quarter. The Knicks took a 97 - 95 lead with 2:14 to go, but an Anthony Tolliver three - pointer swung the lead back to the Pistons, who rattled off an 11 - 2 run to put away the game. The Pistons were led by their back court starters. Stanley Johnson led Detroit with 22 points (7 - 12 shooting, 7 - 8 FT) and stuffed the box score with nine rebounds, five assists, two steals and a block. Reggie Jackson scored 21 (6 - 16 FG, 3 - 5 3PT) and added five assists and a pair of steals. Andre Drummond recorded his fourth straight double - double with 17 points (7 - 12 FG) and 13 rebounds. The Pistons shot a sharp 51 percent from the floor and 53 percent from three - point land. Robin Lopez exploded for a game - high 26 points on an efficient 11 - 14 shooting night, and his 16 rebounds were also a game high. Arron Afflalo dropped 24 points (8 - 15 FG, 7 - 8 FT), and Carmelo Anthony nearly had a triple - double as he scored 19 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and dished eight assists. The Knicks made it to the free throw line 34 times and sunk a respectable 27 (79 percent), but they shot just 6 - 22 from three and could n't overcome the bricks. The Knicks remain at home to host the Grizzlies Friday night. The Pistons continue their Eastern Conference road trip with a Saturday matchup in Indiana.
