The Golden State Warriors five-game winning streak without Steph Curry and Andrew Wiggins came to an end on Wednesday in a 122-119 loss to the Detroit Pistons. It was another wild back-and-forth affair at the Chase Center, but this time, the Dubs place in the standings paid for their missed opportunities.
The Pistons started hot offensively, jumping out to a 34-26 lead by the end of the first quarter. Neither Klay Thompson nor Jordan Poole had an efficient offensive night, which obviously limited the Warriors offense. It also enabled Detroit to consistently get out in transition off of Poole and Thompson’s missed jumpers.
