For a monster rebounder like Drummond, it shouldn't be a surprise for the opponents that they were outrebounded 47-35 in the matchup.

The man is averaging 15.1 rebounds per game this season(the second best being DeAndre Jordan with 13.9 rpg) and for this game, in particular, he pulled down 22 boards, half of which were on the offensive glass.

"Andre's the best rebounder in the league -- it isn't even close -- and that's a huge asset," Pistons Coach Casey said.

Drummond has created a league of his own, where he leads with the most number of triple-doubles(11) of points, defensive rebounds and offensive rebounds, currently possessing four more than any active player.

Against the Magic, he also contributed with 14 points coupled with a singular blocked shot for the night, shooting 7-of-15 from the field.

This was Andre's second 20+ rebound game in the last three matchups and an amazing tenth time in the season that he pulled at least 20 boards in a game.
