The Pistons showed tenacity throughout the game, starting with a slow first quarter where they put up 20 points to the Warriors' 22. They picked up momentum in the second quarter adding another 26 points to their tally but still trailed as halftime approached with Golden State securing 28 points. The third quarter saw an improved performance from Detroit as they scored 29 points; however, it was matched by Golden State's consistent offense. The final period witnessed Detroit's strongest push with a commendable effort of scoring 34 points but it wasn't enough to surpass their opponents who also netted 34.


Detroit's defensive efforts were highlighted by an impressive total of nine blocks and eight steals during the game. Offensively, they distributed well with a total of 25 assists and maintained efficiency on two-point attempts shooting at a solid rate of fifty-seven percent. Despite these efforts, their three-point attempts fell short at thirty percent accuracy.


The bench played a significant role contributing thirty-seven points to Detroit's overall score. The team fought hard for possession reflected by their forty-eight rebounds—ten offensive and thirty-eight defensive—and managed to draw eighteen fouls which led them to shoot free throws at eighty percent efficiency.


A pivotal moment for Detroit came when they managed an unanswered run scoring ten straight points against Golden State’s ninety-five before ending that streak one point behind at ninety-four. This surge demonstrated their ability not only to compete but also momentarily dominate play against formidable opponents.


On individual performances for Detroit: players showcased resilience and teamwork which is evident from their collective statistics rather than standout solo displays.
