GIF: 76ers' Turner inadvertently throws ball at the face of Pistons' Caldwell-Pope

It wasn't quite Malice at the Palace but the Philadelphia 76ers and Detroit Pistons were involved in their own bout of pushing and shoving Saturday night. 

With under two minutes left in the first half, Pistons guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope wrapped up 76ers guard Evan Turner who accidentally threw the ball behind him, hitting the rookie in the face.

Pistons guard Brandon Jennings took exception and attempted to fire the ball back at Turner but missed - which shouldn't come to much surprise. The pair were each assessed with a technical foul after the team's were separated.
