"I think we played the way we wanted to play tonight," Jackson, who went 11 for 19 from the field and made a perfect 7 for 7 from the foul line, said. "It starts with our defense, once again."

Tobias Harris and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope chipped in 16 points each, while Marcus Morris and Andre Drummond added 19 points and 14 points respectively. Drummond grabbed a game-high 18 rebounds for a double-double game night for the Pistons, who improved to 19-11 at home.

Detroit had an early 14 point-lead at the end of the first quarter, but the Trail Blazers made a 35-28 run in the second quarter to finish the first half 58-51, with the Pistons still leading by seven points.

In the second half of the game, Portland was limited to just 24 points in the third quarter and just made 28 points in the final period of the game, while the host team scores 65 points all in the second half.

"We knew it was going to be a tough trip," Blazers head coach Terry Stotts said. "It was good to get the three wins and certainly after winning the first three you hope to get another win or two on the road, but we're going to be tested from here on out."

Detroit (32-31) pulled into a virtual tie with Chicago (31-30) for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons now go on a four-game road trip.

Damian Lillard, who shot 8 for 22 from the floor, led Portland with 26 points and CJ McCollum added 22 points.
