AUBURN HILLS, Mich.—Ben Gordon scored 23 points and Ben Wallace added 16 rebounds, helping the Detroit Pistons beat the Philadelphia 76ers 88-81 on Sunday.

Wallace had seven of Detroit's 21 offensive rebounds, and added three blocks and three steals. Charlie Villanueva added 16 points.

Andre Iguodala led Philadelphia with 24 points, but the 76ers couldn't overcome missing their last eight field-goal attempts.

Detroit led 43-37 after a first half that saw both offenses struggle, and only 20 offensive rebounds -- 13 of them by the Pistons -- allowed the teams to reach 80 combined points. Iguodala had 15 in the half for Philadelphia, while Gordon had 10 for Detroit.
