Tobias Harris scored 21 points Monday night to help the Detroit Pistons snap a five-game losing streak with a 106-90 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, who played without LeBron James at Auburn Hills, Mich.

James sat out to rest, missing his third game this season, all three of which Cleveland has lost. The Cavaliers’ five-game winning streak ended on a night when they never led.

Kevin Love had 17 points and 14 rebounds for Cleveland, which was playing its fifth game in seven days and coming off a thrilling one-point win Sunday over Golden State.
