PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) – Andre Drummond had 29 points and 27 rebounds, Reggie Jackson scored a career-high 40 points and the Detroit Pistons rallied in the fourth quarter to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 120-103 on Sunday night.

The Blazers led by as many as 18 points in the third quarter, but Detroit’s Kentavious Caldwell-Pope hit a 3-pointer that closed the gap to 98-92 with 7:18 left. Drummond’s layup pulled the Pistons within 98-96 and Jackson’s floater with 5:21 left tied it at 98. Jackson hit another to put the Piston’s in front with 4:46 left, and they never trailed again.
