With five minutes to go in the Pistons game, the Warriors were clinging to a 87-84 lead. GSW then push the lead out to 94-85 with the help of Draymond Green and his excellent defense, along with the work of the other switching Warriors.
After missing the previous game against the Hornets, Draymond Green returned to the starting lineup to play in front of his hometown crowd (having grown up in nearby Saginaw, Michigan and attending Michigan State University in East Lansing).
Though he struggled as a scorer against the Pistons (totaling only two points), Green filled all the other areas of the stat sheet in this game.
