AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Brandon Knight outplayed Damian Lillard in a matchup of young guards -- and had plenty of help from a couple of unexpected contributors.

 

Knight scored 26 points to lead the Detroit Pistons to a 108-101 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night. Detroit had seven players score in double figures, including Kyle Singler with 16 points and Charlie Villanueva with 10.

 

Singler was a second-round draft pick in 2011 and spent last season in Spain. Villanueva played in only three of Detroit's first 13 games this season, but he's scored 27 points in the last two.

 

"We had four possessions that resulted in a score where all five guys touched the ball," coach Lawrence Frank said. "To have seven guys in double figures and to have a bunch of guys with multiple assists, that's great."

 

Eight Detroit players had at least two assists.

 

Lillard entered the day as the NBA's top rookie scorer, averaging 19.6 points per game. He missed his first 12 shots from the field against the Pistons.

 

Detroit is 4-3 since dropping its first eight games. The Pistons won for the first time when allowing more than 90 points.

 

LaMarcus Aldridge was back in the lineup for Portland after missing a game with back spasms. He scored 32 points but didn't have enough help with Lillard struggling.
