DETROIT (AP) — James Wiseman had 18 points and 14 rebounds and the Detroit Pistons snapped an 11-game losing streak with a 117-97 win over the Indiana Pacers on Monday.

The Pistons had not won since beating Spurs 138-131 in double overtime on Feb. 10.

They led by 31 points in the first half and held off the Pacers’ push late in the second quarter and early in the third.

The Pacers beat Detroit 121-115 Saturday at Little Caesars Arena.

Cory Joseph led Detroit with 22 points, Jalen Duren had 12 points and 11 rebounds, and Killian Hayes added 10 points and 11 assists.

Jordan Nwora had 20 points as a backup with Indiana.

Like Saturday, both teams were decimated. Detroit had to add Marvin Bagley III (ankle) to its long injured list, while the Pacers were without Tyrese Haliburton, Bennedict Mathurin, TJ McConnell and Myles Turner.
