AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — Andre Drummond had 17 points and 12 rebounds, and the Detroit Pistons rolled to their most lopsided victory of the season by beating the Orlando Magic 115-89 Monday night.

Detroit led 57-47 at halftime, and although Orlando scored the first seven points of the third quarter, a 16-4 run later in the period gave the Pistons a comfortable advantage again. Detroit then poured it on at the start of the fourth.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 21 points for the Pistons, and Brandon Jennings added 17. Reggie Jackson scored 14 points with seven assists.

Victor Oladipo, starting in place of injured guard Elfrid Payton, led Orlando with 18 points.
