Greg Monroe led the Pistons with 23 points and eight rebounds.

Josh Smith scored 18 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and dished out seven assists, Kyle Singler scored 18 points and Andre Drummond and Brandon Jennings scored 11 points apiece.

The Pistons exploded for 37 points in the first quarter, but the Warriors’ defense got better each quarter, holding the Pistons to 25 points in the second, 21 in the third and finally, just 13 in the fourth.

The Warriors are now 35-22 while the Pistons are 23-34.
