Los Angeles (AFP) - Detroit celebrated former Pistons great Ben Wallace with a win over the NBA's current best, handing the Golden State Warriors just their fourth defeat of the season.

The Pistons beat the Warriors 113-95, Golden State's second defeat in three games and a perfect ending for Detroit fans to a night that saw their club retire four-time defensive player of the year Wallace's number three jersey in their Palace at Auburn Hills arena at halftime.
