Andre Drummond finished with seven points and 20 rebounds.It was a season-high fourth straight win for the Pistons.Is it sustainable? Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy said.

Cole Aldrich added a double-double with 11 points and 14 rebounds. No other Knick scored in double figures.If you dont get offended by somebody scoring on you, then I dont know what to tell you, Smith said. Thats like somebody coming in your house and just taking your video game out of your hand and whatever and you just let it happen.Carmelo Anthony, who leads the Knicks and is fifth in the NBA in scoring with 23.9 points per game, did not play due to a sore left knee and the Knicks offence struggled without him.I think it is a combination of offensively, as we continue to evolve, some offensive frustration, Knicks coach Derek Fisher said.

There is never one answer.Jennings scored 16 points in the third quarter as the Pistons expanded their 57-38 halftime lead to 82-52 after three.

They didnt connect on their first field goal until Jose Calderon hit a foul-line jumper with 4:54 remaining.Detroit increased its lead to a game-high 33 points at 87-54 on Jonas Jerebkos 3-pointer with 10:49 remaining.The Knicks never got closer than 16 the rest of the way.We have to play better, Calderon said. Im the point guard out there and I have to play better basketball. We all have to.The Pistons only fell behind twice in the game, both times by two points in the first quarter. Down 15-13, Jennings hit a layup with 3:38 left to spark a 9-0 run and the Pistons never fell behind again.Nothings easy in this league, Drummond said.
