Warriors vs Pistons Preview
Golden State is fresh from a 123-110 win over the Miami Heat on Thursday. Steph Curry led all scorers with 33 points, while Klay Thompson added 19 and Andrew Wiggins scored 18 points while also hauling in 10 rebounds. The Warriors made 50% of their shots from the floor (46 of 92) and went 39.1% from downtown in the victory.
At 34 years of age, Curry is still playing and executing at a high level, and is averaging 30.8 points, six assists and six boards per game.
“Steph was just sublime,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after the win over Miami. “What he’s doing is just incredible. He just gets by anybody. it doesn’t matter who’s on him. He gets right into the teeth of the defense and finishes, finds guys. He’s been spectacular here to start the year.”
“He used to have irrational confidence,” Warriors forward Draymond Green said about Curry. “He doesn’t have irrational confidence anymore. He has an earned confidence that we all know and expect.”
Golden State is averaging 120.8 points a game so far this season, and they’ll be facing a struggling Pistons squad that has dropped four in a row.
The Pistons are coming off a 136-112 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. Point guard Cade Cunningham had a career-high 35 points, also adding nine rebounds and eight assists, but it wasn’t enough to stop a dominant Hawks squad that had six players score in double figures. Bojan Bogdanovic added 22 points and Isaiah Stewart chipped in 17 points and eight rebounds for the Pistons in a losing effort.
After the loss, Pistons coach Dwane Casey called out his team for its lack of defensive effort.
“This is the first night I didn’t see that commitment on the defensive end of the floor,” Casey said, via ESPN. “They shot almost 57% and that’s just a sign of lack of commitment.”
The Pistons are putting up 109.7 points a game, but they are an extremely young team still learning to gel. We’ll see how they fare against Curry and company.
