CLEVELAND (AP) — The Detroit Pistons, tired and dragging at the end of a long road trip, had every reason to look past the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Derrick Rose and Andre Drummond wouldn’t let that happen.

Rose hit the go-ahead shot with 27 seconds left, and Drummond finished with 23 points and 20 rebounds as the Pistons rallied to beat the Cavaliers 115-113 Tuesday night.

Rose, who scored 24 points, scored on a runner in the lane to give Detroit a 114-113 lead and cap a comeback that began with the Pistons trailing 100-91 early in the fourth quarter.

“I think it was a floater, a little floater,” said Rose, who played a season-high 31 minutes. “All I know is it went in.”

The win provided some good news for the Pistons, who were playing the finale of a six-game trip. Blake Griffin had surgery on his left knee and there is no timetable for his return.

Detroit trailed by 15 points in the first half and seemed on the verge of getting a knockout punch several times, but the Pistons managed to persevere and finished 2-4 on its trip.

“We didn’t want to end a trip like that,” Rose said. “We’re just happy to get the win, especially after the way we played in the first half.”

Drummond’s big night marked his 38th career game of 20 points and 20 rebounds.

“Use any superlative you have for him,” Detroit coach Dwane Casey said. “He played great.”

Cleveland set up for a go-ahead shot after Rose’s basket, but Collin Sexton was called for stepping out of bounds with seven seconds left. The ruling was overturned, but Sexton’s shot in the lane didn’t hit the rim and Detroit was awarded possession on a shot-clock violation.
