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. 

Curry had 17 markers, but was just 5-of-21 from the field--including missing 12 of his 14 attempts from deep. He finished with 10 rebounds and six dimes. 

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).
