AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Guard Reggie Jackson led a balanced attack with 19 points and scored the go-ahead basket with 17 seconds left as the Detroit Pistons beat the Utah Jazz 92-87 Wednesday night in the home opener at The Palace.

Jackson also contributed four assists. Detroit center Andre Drummond had 18 points, a team-high 10 rebounds and two blocks. Shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope contributed 16 points, small forward Marcus Morris added 14, and rookie forward Stanley Johnson chipped in 11 for Detroit (2-0).

Power forward Derrick Favors led Utah (0-1) with 26 points and added six rebounds. Shooting guard Alec Burks delivered 18 points off the bench. Small forward Gordon Hayward had 13 points, while starting shooting guard Rodney Hood added 12 points and a team-high six assists.

The Pistons built a six-point lead early in the second half, quickly gave it up, then went on a late run in the third quarter to go ahead 69-64. Drummond was instrumental during that stretch, making a steal and then converting an alley-oop dunk. After Caldwell-Pope hit a 3-pointer to give Detroit the lead, Drummond blocked a Burks shot and then made a layup.

Johnson scored six points in the first three minutes of the fourth as the Pistons led by as much as nine. Favors made two free throws with 4:55 left to pull the Jazz within 81-78.

Jackson drilled a 3-pointer with 3:32 remaining to make it 86-80, but then the Pistons went cold. Burks drained a pair of jumpers to pull Utah within one. Following a Pistons turnover, Hayward tossed in a layup with 23 seconds left to put his team in front.

Just six seconds later, Jackson made a driving layup to give Detroit an 88-87 lead. Burks missed a shot, and Caldwell-Pope hit two free throws. Jackson added two more after a Caldwell-Pope block to ice the win.

Favors pumped in 15 points by halftime as the Jazz took a 44-41 lead. Drummond, a career 39.9 percent free-throw shooter, made all six of his foul shots while scoring eight points in the first half. He finished 8-for-11 at the line.

Pistons reserve shooting guard Jodie Meeks left the game in the second quarter due to a sore right foot.

NOTES: Utah PF Trevor Booker served his one-game league suspension for striking Lakers center Roy Hibbert during a preseason game. ... Jazz coach Quin Snyder started Brazilian PG Raul Neto ahead of 2013 lottery pick Trey Burke. "It has nothing to do with any type of judgment about who is the better player," Snyder said. "We should introduce the whole team and then it wouldn't even be an issue." ... Detroit PF Anthony Tolliver returned after missing the opener on Tuesday for the birth of his daughter. ... Pistons SF Marcus Morris grabbed his 1,000th career rebound against Atlanta on opening night. ... Detroit coach Stan Van Gundy doesn't think Utah's strong finish last season was a fluke. "They were the best defensive team in the league in that stretch," he said. "They were 19-10 playing in the West. I don't think that's fool's gold at all."
