Warriors hold off Pistons’ comeback attempt

Warriors, Pistons

Buddy Hield scored 19 points to help lead the Golden State Warriors to a 107-104 win over the host Detroit Pistons on Thursday.

Stephen Curry had 17 points, 10 rebounds and six assists while Trayce Jackson-Davis added 14 points and 10 rebounds for Golden State, which ended a two-game skid.

Cade Cunningham had 32 points and eight assists and Malik Beasley scored 21 points for Detroit, which had its five-game winning streak snapped.

After trailing by 18 midway through the fourth quarter, Detroit rallied and cut the deficit to 102-98 with 1:21 remaining in the game on a basket by Jalen Duren.

A dunk by Beasley with 23 seconds left made sliced the gap to 104-102.

Curry hit two free throws with 14.6 seconds remaining to give the Warriors a 106-102 lead, and then Cunningham split a pair of free throws with 11.1 seconds to go to make it a three-point game.

Golden State’s Gui Santos was fouled after rebounding Cunningham’s miss on the second free throw, and he split a pair of free throws with 9.6 seconds left to put Golden State up 107-103.

Cunningham was fouled again and made the first of two free throws with 4.8 seconds left to make it 107-104, and then got his own rebound after missing the second one on purpose.

However, Beasley missed a 3-point attempt for a tie just before the buzzer.

Leading 82-78 with 10:21 left, Golden State went on a 10-0 run to grab a 14-point lead with 7:35 remaining on a 3-pointer by Hield.

The Warriors increased the lead to 98-80 with 5:40 to play after two free throws by Curry. The Pistons then scored 11 straight to make it 98-91 with 2:53 left following a 3-pointer by Beasley.

The Warriors held a 70-53 lead with 7:53 remaining in the third quarter before the Pistons mounted a surge, going on a 11-0 run that featured 3-pointers from Ronald Holland II, Cunningham and Tobias Harris. Golden State was up 82-74 entering the fourth quarter.
