Myles Turner scored 20 points, Pascal Siakam and Bennedict Mathurin each had 19 and the Indiana Pacers rallied to beat Detroit 115-109 on Wednesday night, spoiling coach JB Bickerstaff's Pistons debut.

Detroit led by 12 points and was ahead after each of the first three quarters in a hard-fought game that featured 13 lead changes and four ties, but couldn't hold on to the win.

Jaden Ivey scored 17 points and Jalen Duren had 13 points and 13 rebounds for the Pistons, who had the league's worst record over the past two seasons.

An overturned charge block call with 6:31 left turned Harris' potential three-point play and two-point lead for the Pistons into a one-point deficit.

Indiana held Detroit to 5 of 20 shooting in the fourth quarter after the Pistons made nearly 50% of their shots in the first three quarters.

The Pacers remain on the road to play the New York Knicks on Friday night. Detroit is in Cleveland on Friday night.
