Steph Curry led the Warriors again with 26 points on 7-of-19 shooting from the field to go along with six rebounds and four assists in 31 minutes. Three members of Golden State’s bench unit tallied double-figures against the Pistons.
Dario Saric notched 17 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the floor with three rebounds and an assist in 22 minutes off the bench. Both rookies Trayce Jackson-Davis and Brandin Podziemski each tallied 11 points off the bench.
Following the Warriors’ win over the Pistons, the NBA community on Twitter chimed in with reactions. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying on social media on Saturday night.

Warriors escape the Pistons. Two huge Klay Thompson defensive stops in the final sequence. Strip that forced a turnover and then a block on Bogdanovic drive. Not an inspiring win but a necessary one. Jonathan Kuminga: 35 minutes. Record: 17-18. They face Raptors on Sunday.
