Brandon Knight returns with a vengeance, hits five threes, scores 32

Brandon Knight went into destroyer mode on the Washington Wizards in his return Wednesday from a hyperextended right knee.

Knight knocked down 11-of-18 shots -- including 5-of-6 threes -- for 32 points in the 96-95 Pistons win. He added three rebounds, four assists and a steal. The only downer, making just 5-of-9 free throws.

The third-year guard had missed the previous three games. But he wasn't the only Piston to do damage.

Greg Monroe double-doubled, scoring 26 points on 12-of-17 shooting and grabbing 11 rebounds. The big man added an assist and four steals.

Knight and Monroe made life easy for Jose Calderon, who racked up 18 assists. Calderon must be loving life in the Motor City.
