Warriors 113, Pistons 95: Stephen Curry collected 25 points and eight assists as host Golden State easily dispatched Detroit to snap a two-game slide.
Curry went 7-of-10 from the field and sat out the entire fourth quarter for the Warriors, who improved to 3-0 at home. David Lee added 17 points and nine rebounds, Klay Thompson scored 14 and Andre Iguodala handed out 11 assists to go along with eight points for Golden State.
Andre Drummond recorded 16 points and 14 rebounds while Greg Monroe scored 15 as the Pistons dropped their fourth straight and fell to 0-3 on the road.
The Warriors knocked down seven of their first 10 shots to jump out to a 16-4 lead and were never really challenged. Curry sparked a 9-0 run with a 3-pointer to push it to 33-14 and Golden State held a 35-16 edge at the end of the opening quarter.
Iguodala’s sixth assist provided one of the highlights of the first half when he chased down a long outlet pass and flipped it behind his back to Lee, who was trailing for the dunk. Lee poured in the final four points of the quarter to send the Warriors into the break with a 62-41 edge.
Curry went to work in the third quarter, driving the lane and taking contact for a three-point play and then spinning through the lane to get past a pair of defenders before coming up under the basket and spinning in midair while flipping in a reverse layup. He added a 3-pointer and found Harrison Barnes for a dunk to cap a 10-2 run and spread it out to 86-57 with 3:25 left in the stanza.
Curry left with 1:31 left in the third and the rest of the starters followed him for the beginning of the fourth as Detroit finally started to get something going late against the Golden State reserves and made the final margin more respectable.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The Warriors have led by at least 29 points at some point in each of their first three home games. … Golden State C Jermaine O’Neal went 7-of-8 for 17 points off the bench after totaling five made field goals in the first seven games. … Warriors PG Toney Douglas (stress reaction) was unavailable and Pistons F Charlie Villanueva (shoulder) sat out for the sixth time in seven games.
