The Portland Trail Blazers took care of business against the struggling Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night, winning 110-92 at the Moda Center.

CJ McCollum scored 28 points on a night that Damian Lillard (abdomen), Norman Powell (quad) and Nassir Little (ankle) were sidelined.

The Pistons (4-17) entered the game as one of the NBA’s worst shooting teams and lived up to that billing by making just 38.2% of their shots and 25.7% of their threes.

Portland didn’t have a good shooting night, either. The Blazers shot 42.7% from the field and 33.3% on threes but they took 96 shots compared to 76 for Detroit and committed 10 turnovers while the Pistons coughed up 18.
