Detroit Pistons at Cleveland Cavaliers
· National Basketball AssociationMitchell, Wade help Cavaliers beat Pistons 113-101 in Bickerstaff's return to Cleveland

Jarrett Allen added 17 and 11 rebounds as the Cavs won their 10th straight over the Pistons to give new coach Kenny Atkinson a win in his home debut and a 2-0 start.
Bickerstaff got a mixed reaction from fans in his return after being fired after last season despite leading the Cavs to the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Cade Cunningham scored 33 and Jaden Ivey 22 for the Pistons, who were still within eight in the fourth quarter when Wade made back-to-back 3-pointers in a 31-second span to put the Cavs ahead 105-91 with 6:17 left.
Cavaliers: For the second straight game, they handled business against a weaker team. It's been a solid start under Atkinson, who is still toying with rotations as he learns more about his team.
