Ausar Thompson has matched his career and season high with 6 steals. Last time he did it: Jan. 30 at ... Golden State. GS with 24 turnovers for 32 Pistons points. Pistons have opened 4Q on 10-0 run to blow this open, 97-73, 9:45 to go.

END 3Q: Pistons 87, Warriors 73 Pistons 25 points off 20 GS turnovers, helping them overcome 4 of 17 from 3 and 7 missed FTs.

Pistons stretch lead to 18, 77-59, at 4:19 3Q. Golden State 18 turnovers. Pistons on track for their 20th game this season of forcing 20-plus turnovers. Warriors hit 8 of first 13 from 3, then missed 10 straight before Payton ended the streak.

Pistons take the game's first double-digits lead at 67-56, 7:48 3Q. Steve Kerr gets a timeout.

Meanwhile, the Knicks trail the Nets by 6 at halftime and the Celtics are down 3 at Memphis in the second quarter.

HALF: Pistons 57, Warriors 50 Pistons a 36-point 2Q to surge into the lead. Paul Reed with big minutes after Duren picked up a third foul.

Already down Cade Cunningham, Isaiah Stewart and perimeter ballhandling depth with Marcus Sasser and Kevin Huerter, Pistons have to sit Jalen Duren with 3 fouls at the 8:35 mark of 2Q. They've scored 6 straight to pull within 3, 43-40, 6:17.

And Chaz Lanier is on for the Pistons, who trail 38-29 at 9:26 2Q. Pistons getting outscored by 18 from the 3-point arc. Warriors 2-way guard L.J. Cryer is 3 of 3.

END 1Q: Warriors 26, Pistons 21 Pistons last 5 possessions: turnover, turnover, turnover, blocked shot, blocked shot GS closes on 15-3 run

With no Cunningham, Sasser or Huerter, the Pistons are thin on the perimeter. If the rotation goes past 8, Chaz Lanier appears in line for minutes.

"We're all we got; we're all we need." When you lose your acknowledged star, it can go one of two ways. C'mon, you know which way it was going with these Pistons. www.nba.com/pistons/news...

The Pistons announce Cade Cunningham will be evaluated in 2 weeks after suffering, in layman’s terms, a collapsed left lung in Tuesday’s win

"If it ain't rough," the Goin' to Work Pistons would say, "it ain't right." When Cade Cunningham went down with back spasms 6 minutes into the night, it got rough for the Pistons. So they got down to business to make things right. www.nba.com/pistons/news...

In a month, the Pistons will be awaiting their first-round playoff opponent and fine-tuning their game. In the meantime, J.B. Bickerstaff will audition for perimeter rotation minutes. This week's Pistons Digest: www.nba.com/pistons/news...

If a loss to the woebegone Nets was enough to generate panic, then a 38-point win over them should dispel much of it. "We just wanted to get back on the right track.” www.nba.com/pistons/news...

It was a week that .. wasn’t. The first significant bump in a remarkably bump-free Pistons season appears. This week’s Pistons Digest: www.nba.com/pistons/news...

FINAL: Nets 107, Pistons 105 Pistons led by 17 with 10 minutes to play. Nets had lost 10 straight. Pistons have their first 3-game losing streak of the season. Nets hit 27 of 28 FTs, outscored Pistons 34-15 over final 10 minutes. Duncan Robinson's 3 at the buzzer no good.

Pistons score first 6 of 4Q and push lead to 17 (with another FT coming out of timeout). Would be good to wrap it up early since the NBA, in its wisdom, has them traveling to Miami tonight for a 6 pm Sunday tip - while losing an hour in the air.

END 3Q: Pistons 84, Nets 73 Pistons pushed lead to 23, but scored just 4 points in last 4:43. Nets helping themselves at FT line where they're 17 of 18.

END 1Q: Pistons 32, Nets 19 Pistons got some unkind whistles (and non-whistles) early, including 3 fouls on Duncan Robinson. But they close on a 16-4 run. Marcus Sasser 8 points, 2 of 2 from 3.

The Pistons endured random 3-point hiccups at both ends of the court during a challenging week. They still went 3-1. "That's who we are. We figure out a way." This week's Pistons Digest: www.nba.com/pistons/news...

The Pistons losing San Antonio 3-point shooters, has that ever happened before? On the Ghost of Robert Horry game: www.nba.com/pistons/news...

FINAL: Spurs 114, Pistons 103 Spurs are a defensive dynamo, as are Pistons. The 3-point disparity - 18 of 40; 7 of 36 - wasn't the only story. But the margin for error is thin when you get outscored by 33 from 3. They meet again next week.

Pistons finally get a 3 to fall. Caris LeVert cuts it to 94-85 with 7:42 to go. Pistons had been 1 of 12 in second half until that one.

END 3Q: Spurs 83, Pistons 75 The 3-point disparity is the biggest factor with Spurs 14 of 32 and Pistons 6 of 25. Pistons have done a terrific job neutralizing Wembanyama, but Spurs have done just as well neutralizing Cade Cunningham.

Spurs up 81-72 at 2:59 3Q as they are doing a terrific job of staying patient and finding 3-point shooters, who are 14 of 31. Kind of crazy that in a game as physical as this, we've had a total of 20 free throws shot.

HALF: Spurs 57, Pistons 55 Spurs 11 of 22 from 3 with Vassell (5 of 7) and Champagnie (4 of 5) combining for 30 points. Pistons a 34-20 points in the paint edge and a 29-22 rebound edge.

END 1Q: Pistons 27, Spurs 24 Pistons trailed 14-2 after 3 minutes. Cunningham, Duren 2 fouls apiece. Ron Holland helped turn the game with 9 points in 2 minutes, the first 6 on forceful takes that resulted in and-ones.

Grant Hill was the last Pistons player to be named first team All-NBA. Cade Cunningham is poised to end that dry spell. They might also have another link coming. This week's Pistons Digest: www.nba.com/pistons/news...

FINAL: Pistons 126, Bulls 110 Pistons win 5th straight. Dominant 2nd half after leading by 3 at halftime. Cade Cunningham 18/9/13 in 30 minutes. Jalen Duren 26 and 13 in his return. The gauntlet next week: Spurs, Thunder, Cavs @LCArena_Detroit Monday-Wednesday-Friday

END 3Q: Pistons 97, Bulls 76 Pistons end quarter outscoring Bulls 27-12 over last 7:26. Cade Cunningham 17/9/11; Jalen Duren 23 and 10.

Pistons open lead to 15 midway through 3Q. Cade Cunningham on the verge of a triple-double with 17/9/9. Jalen Duren 17 points, 9 boards in return from 2-game suspension.

HALF: Pistons 53, Bulls 50 Pistons between games with the Knicks and starting Monday with San Antonio, OKC and Cleveland, so a trap game if ever there was one. Bulls 9 of 17 from 3 but 14 turnovers. Cade Cunningham 15/6/4/2/2

END 1Q: Bulls 30, Pistons 28 An 8-0 Bulls run to end the quarter. If you're Chicago, you'd probably want to be up more than 2 points if you made 8 of 9 triples.

Ausar Thompson checks out with 3 minutes left in the first quarter with this stat line: 2 points (1 of 5) but 3 boards, 5 assists, a steal and a block. Pistons up 28-22 after Bulls started 6 of 7 from 3

The blowouts in Detroit might have stung the Knicks a bit, but the domination at home bruised them. On a big night on basketball's biggest stage and Cade Cunningham's transcendent mastery of the Knicks: www.nba.com/pistons/news...

FINAL: Pistons 126, Knicks 111 Cade Cunningham 42/8/13 and a major foot forward in the MVP race. Amazing win without Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart. Pistons sweep season series with the Knicks 3-0.

Mark that stretch down. Cade Cunningham sitting for first 2:29 of fourth quarter and they've expanded the lead from 11 to 16. Knicks timeout. Paul Reed a big block on one end, a big offensive rebound and kickout for a LeVert 3 at the other.

END 3Q: Pistons 90, Knicks 79 Cade Cunningham 35/6/9. He's played 31 minutes and all of the third quarter. Tolu Smith 5 fouls, Paul Reed 4. A battle of attrition for the Pistons at this point.

HALF: Pistons 58, Knicks 48 7-0 run to end half and take game's first double-digits lead. Cade Cunningham 24/3/4. Knicks hit their first 3 and are 0 of 15 since.

END 1Q: Pistons 28, Knicks 26 Pistons opened 1 of 10, finished 10 of 23. Cade Cunningham 14 points, 3 of 5 from 3.
