DETROIT (AP) — Kyrie Irving took over, scoring on an array of shots and even over a backboard that was simply in his way.

Irving scored 17 of his 45 points in the third quarter to overcome a double-digit deficit and the Brooklyn Nets went on to beat the Detroit Pistons 121-111 in overtime Saturday night.

At one point during Irving’s scoring tear after halftime, he shot a floater over 6-foot-11 Andre Drummond and the backboard from the baseline.

Derrick Rose had 27 points for Detroit, scoring more than 20 for the 12th straight game to extend his career high.

Drummond had a double-double in the first quarter and finished with 20 points and 21 rebounds.

The Pistons host Cleveland on Monday night.

Milwaukee, back from Europe, hosts Washington Tuesday.
