The Warriors (13 - 2) used a second quarter run to top the Pistons (3 - 13) Sunday in Detroit. Golden State, winners of nine straight, trailed by three at the end of the first quarter before beginning the second on a 13 - 4 run keyed by Marreese Speights and Harrison Barnes. Detroit battled back to trim the deficit to five points but the Warriors closed on a 10 - 1 run to lead 53 - 40 at half. From then on, the margin never returned to single - digits, with the lead reaching 22 points midway through the third quarter. The Warriors were led by 16 points and 10 assists from Stephen Curry. Klay Thompson had 15 points, while Draymond Green added a game - high 20 to go with six rebounds. Speights chipped in 11 points and 12 rebounds off the bench, and Shaun Livingston finished with 12 points in 23 minutes. It was another night of poor shooting (36%) for the Pistons, losers of eight straight, as Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was the only starter to make at least half of his shots. The second - year guard finished with 22 points and six assists, while backcourt mate Brandon Jennings added 23 points. Josh Smith finished with 14 points and 12 assists, but Golden State held Andre Drummond to just two points (1 - 8 FG) and seven rebounds in 24 minutes. Greg Monroe, who came off the bench, had a 13 - point, 10 - rebound double - double. Up next, the Warriors return home to host the Magic on Tuesday. Detroit plays host to the Lakers, also on Tuesday.
