The Detroit Pistons started the new year right with a comeback victory over the Miami Heat, 107-98.

Reggie Jackson, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Andre Drummond were phenomenal in the Detroit Pistons‘ win Sunday night.

After trailing early to the Miami Heat, the three starters slowly led the Pistons back into the game and, eventually, to a victory.

Drummond performed the best with energy all over the court as Jackson and Caldwell-Pope could not miss with a combined 50 points.

Even though Miami was out with most of their starters, Detroit is one game closer to .500 and now travels home to take on the Indiana Pacers Tuesday.
