What a game! Beating Golden State isn’t easy. But the Pistons didn’t just beat them, they blew them out with a complete team effort. No Piston played poorly tonight. Pretty much the only time you can normally say that is when the Pistons don’t have a game.
The Pistons benefited more from the whistles in this one than the Warriors. But the real key is that the Warriors unraveled when the calls weren’t going their way. They picked up three technical fouls and had about a dozen possessions when they looked like they were playing frustrated basketball instead of smart, calm basketball.
