With Stephen Curry struggling, Buddy Hield made sure to step up on behalf of his Splash brother.
Hield put up a team-high 19 points as the Warriors fended off a late Detroit Pistons uprising to pull off a hard-earned 107-104 escape--ending a two-game skid.

Trayce Jackson-Davis ended with a 14-point, 10-rebound double-double while Gui Santos, Lindy Waters, and Dennis Schroder combined for 36 markers. The Warriors improved to 19-18 with the loss.
Meanwhile, Cade Cunningham paced the Pistons with 32 points in a losing effort as the Pistons got their first loss in 2025 after starting 5-0.
Golden State continues their four-game East road trip next in Indianapolis to face the Pacers (20-18) while Detroit next hosts the Toronto Raptors (8-29).
