David Lee led the way with 24 points on 10-of-12 shooting and Monta Ellis came on late to finish with 22 points and seven assists as the Golden State Warriors snapped a two-game slide with a 99-91 victory over the host Detroit Pistons on Sunday.

Dorell Wright chipped in 11 points and a season-high 11 rebounds for the Warriors, who have won just two of their last nine games.

The Pistons have lost seven of eight to fall to 3-10 on the season.

It was tied at 62-62 with 3:49 left in the third quarter when Golden State began to assert itself. Wright made a pair of free throws and buried a 3-pointer to cap a 10-2 run that gave the Warriors the lead for good.

Golden State put it away with a 10-0 run early in the fourth quarter during which Detroit turned the ball over twice and went nearly four minutes without a point. The Warriors ended up shooting 20-of-36 (56 percent) in the second half.

Greg Monroe collected 25 points and eight rebounds and Tayshaun Prince added 20 and seven for the Pistons.
