Caldwell-Pope, Drummond help Pistons beat Lakers 111-91

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) – Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 22 points, Andre Drummond added 18 points and 15 rebounds, and the Pistons beat the Los Angeles Lakers 111-91 Sunday in Kobe Bryant’s last visit to Detroit. Reggie Jackson added 20 points as the Pistons won their fourth straight. Lou Williams scored 21 points and Julius Randle added 15 points and 11 rebounds as Los Angeles lost for the ninth time in 10 games. Bryant received a standing ovation before the game, when the arena went dark while Pistons public address announcer John Mason read off his long list of achievements, graciously skipping the loss to Detroit in the 2004 Finals. Bryant missed his first nine shots, and when he finally made one – a 3-pointer midway through the third quarter – the fans gave him his second ovation of the night and a brief “KO-BE” chant broke out. He finished with five points on 2-of-15 shooting.
