Detroit beats Lebron-less Cavs

AUBURN HILLS—Tobias Harris scored 21 points to help Detroit snap a fivegame losing streak by beating Cleveland 106-90 in the NBA on Monday night while LeBron James sat out.

James missed his third game of the season, and Cleveland has lost all three. The Cavaliers had their five-game winning streak snapped in a match they never led.

Cleveland was playing its fifth game in seven days and coming off a thrilling win Sunday over Golden State. So James sat, and the Pistons took advantage.

Detroit scored the first eight points, led 50-44 at halftime and took control near the end of the third quarter. Harris and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope made 3-pointers early in the fourth, and the Pistons led 82-65.

Kevin Love had 17 points and 14 rebounds for Cleveland.

Raptors 95, Trail Blazers 91

In Portland, Kyle Lowry scored 27 points as the Toronto Raptors won their franchise-best seventh consecutive road game over the skidding Portland Trail Blazers.

Lowry, coming off a season-high 36 points last Friday at Utah, had 20 in the second half as the Raptors (22-8) handed Portland its sixth consecutive loss.

Toronto's DeMar DeRozan nearly had his first triple-double of the season, with 20 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists. Patrick Patterson scored 15, and Jonas Valanciunas had 12 points and 12 rebounds.
