Thursday marked the sixth game this season that Tobias Harris played as a reserve , and it was yet another great performance off the bench for the 6 - foot - 8 forward . Harris recorded a game - high 25 points in Thursday 's victory over the Hornets , and with that , he is now averaging 22 points per game over his six as a reserve this year . On top of that , he 's also been doing work on the glass , as while he managed to record just two rebounds Thursday , he is still averaging 7 per game off the bench . And with Harris ' move to the bench , Jon Leuer has been thrust into the starting lineup and has matched his production as a reserve , with the big man out of Wisconsin averaging 11 points on 50 percent shooting from the field as a starter after averaging 11 points per game in his former role off the bench . The Detroit Pistons defeated the Charlotte Hornets 115 - 114 Thursday at the Palace in Auburn Hills . The game ended up being a lot closer than one would have thought as the final period kicked off , as the the Pistons ( 17 - 21 ) opened up a lead as large as 19 points before Kemba Walker and the Hornets ( 20 - 17 ) decided to come storming back . After tying the game late , Charlotte ultimately found themselves down one with 1 seconds remaining on the game clock . Marco Belinelli , without a teammate open , threw a pass off a defender 's back and drained a jumper off the glass , but it ended up leaving his hands long after the buzzer had sounded . In their victory , the Pistons got a pair of nearly perfect performances off the bench Thursday night , with Tobias Harris continuing his hot streak off the bench , and Boban Marjanovic putting together his best performance of the season . Harris finished with a team - high 25 points on 10 - of - 16 shooting , while Marjanovic , recorded a double - double of 15 points and 18 rebounds in just 22 minutes . For the starters , Marcus Morris posted a double - double of his own of 20 points and 10 rebounds , while Reggie Jackson , on top of hitting some crucial free throws in crunch time , recorded 22 points and 11 assists . Detroit managed to move the ball efficiently and effectively , posting 24 assists to just seven turnovers as a team . For the Hornets , it was a very cold start with a very hot finish , as Walker carried the team on his back after struggling through the first three quarters . Walker shot 9 - of - 11 from the field in the fourth quarter en route to scoring 20 of his 32 points in the final period . He also finished with seven rebounds and five assists on top of that , but the team 's subpar performance through the first three quarters ultimately led to a deficit that was too big to overcome .
