DETROIT — In what was perceived as the most unlikely game to win at this juncture of the Pistons' brutal schedule, Detroit weathered a 36-point third quarter by the reigning NBA champions with their own offensive explosion.
Detroit produced 37 points of its own in the third quarter — combined with with a career scoring night from Isaiah Stewart and balanced offensive production from its starters — to earn their second win of the season, a 128-114 victory over the Golden State Warriors.
In the midst of a barrage of 3-pointers by Jordan Poole, fans inside Little Caesars Arena erupted during a sequence in which Cade Cunningham blocked Stephen Curry's layup attempt midway through the third quarter. Seconds later, Jaden Ivey took the ball the length of the floor and forcefully threw down a dunk over James Wiseman.
