CLEVELAND -- Brandon Knight made sure the Detroit Pistons got a needed road win.

 

Knight scored a career-high 30 points and the Pistons defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers for the second time in six days with a 104-97 win on Saturday night.

 

The Pistons, who won for just the second time in 12 road games this season, took control with a run that began late in the third quarter and carried into the fourth period.

 

Besides winning on the road, Pistons coach Lawrence Frank was pleased to see his team rebound from Friday night's home loss to Chicago in which Detroit squandered a 17-point lead in the first half.

 

"It's great to bounce back from last night," he said. "We were able to hold on and get a good win on the road."

 

Tayshaun Prince scored 14 points while Jason Maxiell added 11 for the Pistons, who defeated the Cavaliers 89-79 on Monday in Auburn Hills, Mich.

 

Jeremy Pargo scored 24 points for Cleveland, which has lost five straight, nine of 10 and 15 of 17.

 

Knight scored 23 points in the second half, including 13 in the fourth quarter. His 3-pointer late in the third period gave Detroit the lead for good, 71-68.
