Cleveland edges Detroit 115-110
Tuesday, January 28, 2020

(DETROIT) - Before his team took the court, Cavaliers star Kevin Love spent some of his day looking back at Kobe Bryant's life and career. Love was an Olympic teammate of Bryant's and played college basketball in Los Angeles at UCLA, so it felt fitting when he made six 3-pointers in the first half Monday night during Cleveland's 115-100 win over the Detroit Pistons, helping the Cavaliers snap a seven-game losing streak. The teams honored Bryant's two uniform numbers when Cleveland committed a 24 second shot clock violation after the opening tip, and the Pistons gave the ball back with an 8 second violation in the backcourt. Fans observed 24 seconds of silence in Bryant's honor before the game. Collin Sexton had 23 points for the Cavaliers and Tristan Thompson added 17 points and 11 rebounds. Reggie Jackson led Detroit with 16 points. Teammate Andre Drummond had 15 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists while Sviatoslav Mykhailuk had 13 points.
