ROCHESTER, Mich. (AP) Kahlil Felder scored a career-high 29 points, sinking all 10 of his free throws, to help Oakland hold off Detroit for an 83-78 win Sunday.

Nick Daniels contributed 14 points and Corey Petros added 11 as Oakland (13-14, 8-4 Horizon League) shot 51.7 percent on 58 attempts from the field to snap a two-game skid and avenge a Jan. 10 loss to the Titans.

Detroit (12-16, 5-8) trailed by 15 late in the first half but battled back in the second, briefly taking the lead with a 12-0 run capped by Jarod Williams' tip-in to make it 67-64 with 6:16 left. Oakland retook the lead with a free throw from Tommie McCune, who followed it up with a bucket to make it 74-71 with 2:32 remaining and padded it down the stretch.

Paris Bass led Detroit with a career-high 28 points and Anton Wilson added 11.
