Grading Klay Thompson, Jordan Poole, Draymond Green, and the rest of the Golden State Warriors in the team's 122-119 loss to the Detroit Pistons.
To wit: in the last five games, Moody had played 64 minutes and recorded just a single assist. It’s very interesting seeing how the Warriors handle their two-way contracts relative to a team like the Pistons, who are one of the worst squads in the NBA this year, and clearly not playing for wins ... Baldwin getting to play some minutes has been one of the best parts of the Warriors recent battle with the injury demons. The downside is that Jerome and Lamb may never develop into Chris Boucher or Alex Caruso. Hard to see Golden State staying in this game if he hadn’t been playing. He had some elite defensive plays, and a few passes — particularly early in the game — that were other-worldly. He dribbled too much in this game, and often for no reason. And it’s a mark of who he is that when Bob Fitzgerald referenced the label that Steve Kerr gave Looney — the team’s “moral compass” — guest broadcaster Steph Curry called it the “perfect” description. He remains a good player with a star ceiling, but it will be nice seeing him take a step back when Curry returns. On most nights these stats would probably earn him an A-, but he really put the offense on his back in the final few minutes. By far the team’s best offensive player, and I thought he moved well on defense. Green got ejected late in this game, though I don’t think it was a particularly fair ejection.

Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying on Wednesday night. Pistons beat the Warriors 122-119. Thompson has scored 30 or more points in his last three games for the Warriors. However, Saddiq Bey and the Pistons had one final haymaker left in the tank.
Saddiq Bey sunk the defending champions with a buzzer-beating triple.
Luckily for Detroit, neither could keep it up in the second half as they found a way to fend off the Warriors’ stars for a much-needed, bounce-back win. He scored 14 of his 17 points in the first half. It was a classic “who the heck is this guy?” moment. That comes after it looked like they had the game in hand with just over a minute to play. He flashed the total package — dunks, rebounds, defense — as he compiled an 18-point, 10-rebound game, making all eight of his shots. And Bey was there to make amends, nailing a fall-away triple of his own at the buzzer to give the Pistons a 122-119 win in the wee hours of the morning on Thursday.
