This is becoming standard for Andre Drummond. The Detroit Pistons center scored 29 points and pulled down 27 rebounds for his third 20-20 game of the season in Detroit's 120-103 win over the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday.
Drummond grabbed a career-high 29 rebounds in last Tuesday's loss to the Indiana Pacers, and now has a double-double in each game this season. Needless to say, he is flirting with some historic company.

Point guard Reggie Jackson scored a career-high 40 points for the Pistons, as Detroit mounted a comeback from an 18-point third quarter deficit to end up winning by 17. Riding a 34-4 fourth-quarter run, the Pistons outscored the Blazers 41-11 in the final frame. Twenty-six of Jackson's points were scored in the fourth. In the middle of the surge, Portland forward Ed Davis personified the Blazers' frustration by getting ejected for arguing a missed foul call.
The Pistons sit at 5-1 now. Last year, they didn't reach five wins until 24 games into the season.
