In reaction to what was possibly their most frustrating defeat of the year, the Warriors acted clumsily and intentionally, inviting humiliation from the poorest team in the NBA.

Before the Warriors could muster a reaction in the final 92 seconds, the Detroit Pistons, who came into Chase Center with a 3-31 record, wore them down for more than 46 minutes on Friday night.

Golden State needed 11 straight points from Stephen Curry to pull out a 113-109 victory at that time, which was an eyesore that was only marginally less heartbreaking for the Warriors and their supporters than the disastrous events of the night before.

Coach Steve Kerr remarked, “It was a tough grind.” “Over the past few weeks, Detroit has performed admirably. They forced overtime on Boston last week, and they did the same against Utah the other day. Compared to a few weeks ago, they are playing much better.

That was emotionally taxing, especially considering the back-to-back following that terrible loss on Thursday night. It was a difficult game, then. I’m happy that the boys persevered.

Despite coming back within a game of.500, the Warriors (17–18) performed poorly, which said volumes about both their mental and physical well-being. After 35 games in the season, this squad still has a lot of significant problems that don’t seem to be going away.

In this game, the most recent issue arose. Chris Paul is expected to have surgery the following week for a fractured left hand. The newest setback to the constantly shifting playing rotation is his extended absence.

Dario Sarić, who has produced a great deal of offensive production for the squad in tandem with Paul, remarked, “It’s going to be tough.”

“I’m so sorry for Chris,” He’s had a few hand surgeries, I know that,” Kerr remarked. “As soon as I noticed he was holding it, I became anxious. For Chris, I am so sorry. Guys must rise to the occasion and be prepared to play.

21 hours had passed since the Warriors appeared to be ready to punish their opponent on a night when they had blown an 18-point lead in the fourth quarter and lost 130-127 to the Denver Nuggets despite a 39-foot buzzer beater by Nikola Jokic. Excellent. The terrible Pistons are the most reliable NBA patsy there is.

Give a cathartic performance. While the reserves maintained a 25-point advantage, let veterans Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson observe the fourth quarter from the sidelines.

Nevertheless, the Pistons persisted, mostly because the Warriors were putting up with it. They scored 28 points off of 19 turnovers by Detroit, and before Curry sealed the deal with 1:40 left, the Pistons had even taken a 103-102 lead.

“I was surprised by the turnovers because we have been handling the ball really well lately,” Kerr remarked. “But I believe that part was caused by the fatigue.”

Every victory is not made equally. This was an insignificant one. The storm clouds from two days ago are still very much in place, even though it will appear fantastic in the rankings.
