ORLANDO, Fla. -- Detroit coach Lawrence Frank wanted his team to finish a tough road trip on a positive note.

 

The Pistons did that, and provided some late-game toughness.

 

Brandon Knight had a career-high 31 points, including five 3-pointers, and Greg Monroe scored 17 points, helping the Pistons stave off three game-tying field goal attempts in the closing seconds of their 104-102 victory on Sunday night.

 

"It was good to see how we responded." Frank said of the win, which also snapped a two-game losing streak. "There were 20 lead changes in that game. We kept our poise and our resolve."

 

Will Bynum also had a season-high 12 assists on a night in which the Pistons were under their season average for turnovers and assisted on 25 of their 40 field goals.

 

"The ball bounces funny sometimes," Knight said. "But still, you've got to be there and get some of those bounces and make some of the effort plays ... I gotta commend my teammates on making some of those effort plays toward the end of the game."

 

The loss spoiled a big night for J.J. Redick, who tied a career high with 31 points and set a career high with eight 3-pointers.

 

Jameer Nelson had 18 points and eight assists, and Glen Davis added 17 points and 12 rebounds.
