The Detroit Pistons defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers , 106 - 90 , at Palace of Auburn Hills on Monday . The form of these teams would indicate an easy Cleveland win , but once LeBron James was declared inactive , Detroit felt as it was their game to have . They took care of business too , as they pulled out a wire - to - wire win and won each individual quarter by at least three points . Defense was key for the Pistons , as they held the Cavaliers to 38 percent shooting , while forcing 21 turnovers to just 30 made baskets . Three-point shooting really carried Detroit as well , as they went 16 - of - 28 from long range in their win . The Cavaliers ( 23 - 7 ) are coming off a historic win against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday , but it led to LeBron James being rested here and a lackluster performance from the rest of the team . Kyrie Irving led Cleveland in scoring , as he accrued 18 points , five rebounds and eight assists . Kevin Love recorded a double - double , tallying 17 points and 14 rebounds , while committing five turnovers in the defeat . Iman Shumpert , Key Felder and Channing Frye all provided 11 points a piece off the bench . Cleveland will be back to full force on Thursday in their next game against the Boston Celtics . The Pistons ( 15 - 18 ) have been in a terrible slide recently and a win over the team like the Cavaliers may be what they need to get going . Tobias Harries was moved to the bench last week and he continues to thrive in that role , as he led the team with 21 points , six rebounds and four assists . Reggie Jackson had one of his best games of the season , as he accumulated 13 points , six rebounds and six assists . Andre Drummond controlled the paint for Detroit , as he totaled 11 points , 17 rebounds and four assists . Kentavious Caldwell-Pope went 7 - of - 11 from the field to collect 18 points , three rebounds , three assists and three steals . Detroit 's next game is on Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks . This appeared to be a lopsided matchup on paper , but when LeBron James is taken out of that equation , the tables get turned . Detroit took care of business against the shorthanded Cavaliers too , as they won each individual quarter en route to a wire - to - wire win . Three-point shooting was the biggest factor for the Pistons , as they went 16 - of - 28 from long distance in the dominating win . The Cavaliers offense really struggled without James , as they went just 38 percent from the field and committed 21 turnovers in their loss . Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving did all they could though , as Love totaled 17 points and 14 rebounds , while Irving collected 18 points , five rebounds and eight assists . Tobias Harris continues to thrive in his new bench role , as he led the Pistons with 21 points , six rebounds and four assists . Andre Drummond was a force down low , accruing 11 points , 17 rebounds and four assists .
