FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Thursday night’s 127-107 loss to the Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena
SLAM DUNK – Everybody’s margin for error against Golden State is razor thin. It shrunk a little further for the Pistons with Jon Leuer’s continued absence compounded by the early loss of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. Even at full strength, it was going to be tough for the Pistons to overcome their lackadaisical safeguarding of the basketball. The Pistons committed a season-high 20 turnovers, most of them live-ball miscues that fueled open transition jump shots for the most dangerous perimeter shooting trio in the NBA.
