AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Andre Drummond finished with another flashy stat line, and coach Stan Van Gundy felt the 7-footers contributions went well beyond the numbers.Hes just been really willing offensively to give himself up. He knows the attention he draws and he has been willing to do that, Van Gundy said. Thats frustrating at times, but hes still getting shots -- a lot of them are offensive rebounds, I understand that, but hes still getting the ball down there and getting a chance to score.Drummond had 20 points and 23 rebounds, helping the Detroit Pistons cruise to a 98-83 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday night. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope added 21 points for the Pistons, who scored seven straight points in the final minute of the third quarter to build a 10-point lead.Drummond reached 20 rebounds for a second consecutive game, and this was his 10th career game with at least 20 points and 20 rebounds.I worked hard this summer on all aspects of my game, Drummond said.

We responded well to that and opened it back up to double figures, basically, with our defense the last three minutes of the quarter and getting out in transition. There were a lot of things to be really happy with.Drummonds put-back dunk in the fourth made it 88-75.They made a few runs, but we didnt do a good job trying to stop their momentum and get it back within reach, Bucks guard Matthew Dellavedova said. Wed have a play or two where we wouldnt come up with a loose ball or they would get a rebound and pull away again. I felt like we were always chasing them on the scoreboard and we couldnt really get back level or get up.The Pistons led 24-21 after the first quarter.
