AUBURN HILLS -- The

Detroit Pistons'

cushy lead gave Andre Drummond plenty of room to practice against the Hack-the-Drum strategy Sunday, which was just about the only plan the Philadelphia 76ers had against him.

Drummond had 31 points, 19 rebounds and six steals, all career-highs, as the Pistons split a four-game homestand with a 115-100 victory.

Drummond just missed the first 30-20 game by a Piston since Dennis Rodman had 34 points and 23 rebounds on Jan. 2, 1991, against the Denver Nuggets.

Drummond's previous career-high scoring game was 29. His career-high rebounding game was 18, achieved twice.

Drummond was able to stay on the floor through several failed free-throw excursions after third-quarter intentional fouls because the Pistons put together their highest-scoring quarter, half and game of the season.

It was 40-25 after one quarter and 70-46 at the break.

Drummond and Brandon Jennings had double-doubles by halftime. Jennings finished with 20 points and 12 assists.

Drummond was sent to the line five times intentionally in the second half. He made 7 of 18 overall, but a 4-of-5 finish deterred the strategy.

HIGHLIGHTS

--Chauncey Billups was able to do some running and light basketball work in Saturday's practice and may be closer to returning. He missed his 10th consecutive game Sunday.
