Well, we can’t pretend this was a surprise or anything. The Detroit Pistons kept it close with the Golden State Warriors in the first half in spite of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope going down with a shoulder injury four minutes into the first quarter, Darrun Hilliard taking (and missing) seven shots, and going just 2-for-12 from long range to trail by a mere 60-58 margin.
Once those 24 minutes were in the books, normalcy set it. In just a couple minutes, the Warriors did what they do and threes from Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala ballooned the lead into double digits.
