CJ McCollum recorded 28 points and six assists and reserve Ben McLemore scored a season-high 17 points as the Portland Trail Blazers sailed to a 110-92 victory over the visiting Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night.

Portland easily improved to 10–1 at home despite not having the services of six-time All-Star Damian Lillard, who sat out due to a lingering abdominal injury. The Pistons lost their seventh consecutive game.
