CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) \u2014 Pascal Siakam scored 30 points, grabbed 14 rebounds and made a driving layup with 11.5 seconds left to lift Indiana to a 114-112 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday night that snapped the Pacers\u2019 13-game skid and finally gave coach Rick Carlisle<\/a> his 1,000th career win.<\/p>\n

Carlisle had been stuck on 999 victories since his injury-depleted team beat Sacramento on Dec. 8. He improved to 1,000-891 in 24 seasons as an NBA coach.<\/p>\n

Carlisle, who coached the Dallas Mavericks<\/a> between 2008-2021 and coached the team to the 2011 championship, is the 11th coach in league history to win 1,000 games.<\/p>\n

T.J. McConnell added 23 points and eight assists, and Aaron Nesmith chipped in 16 points.<\/p>\n

LaMelo Ball made seven 3-pointers and had 33 points and eight assists off the bench to lead the Hornets, who lost a heartbreaker at home for the second straight night.<\/p>\n

After Siakam scored to put the Pacers in front, McConnell stole the ensuing inbounds pass. Ben Sheppard made one of two free throws, giving the Hornets the ball with 8 seconds left and a chance to tie or win.<\/p>\n

However, the play broke down, Collin Sexton\u2019s jump shot hit the front rim and the Hornets were unable to corral the rebound.<\/p>\n

Charlotte lost 97-96 to Toronto<\/a> on Wednesday night on a buzzer-beating 3 by Immanuel Quickley.<\/p>\n

Hornets coach Charles Lee opted to not start Ball on the second night of a back-to-back, going with Sexton at point guard instead. The move was designed to help Ball manage wear and tear on his body given his history of missing games with ankle problems.<\/p>\n

It is the first time Ball has come off the bench since Jan. 30, 2021.<\/p>\n

Charlotte\u2019s Brandon Miller was ejected for arguing with officials with 9:49 in the third quarter. He finished with six points.<\/p>\n
