Re: At Golden State November 14th, 10:30 PM

An improbable win was what it was. Even if they had lost this one in the closing seconds not sure if there was anything to complain about other than our poorus defense of the three point arc in the first 3 quarters.

To comeback from a 22 point deficit, when most of the Pistons fan east of the mississippi had turn out the lights and fell asleep is tribute to the diehards who stayed beyond the first qtr massacre. A 40-25 GSW lead looked insurmountable with no Billups or Dice, but we did have one thing on our side. Pistonforum member Mikhail1973 was in the arena and we don't lose win one of us forum roadies attend a Piston road game. Thanks for being our sixth man Mik.

Baron Davis came out lighting it up with Harrington and Barnes and then they disappeared in the second half. meanwhile the guys in red decided that the game was not over and chipped away first in the second qtr and then in the third trimming it down to 3 by the end of third and finally catching them at 96, before moving ahead 101-98 on a 3 ball by Sheed I believe and never looked back. Hopefully the earlybirds had their TIVO/DVR's set up. But skip to the the second half.

Pistons outboarded the Warriors by one and outpointed them in paint 46-42.

The zone defense set up by Flip in the 3rd took care of business and got the Pistons back in the game. The warriors continued to toss up three pointers and was 8/13 in the first half but only 5 for 20 in the second half.

Double/doubles by Flip jr and Max prove that the Pistons have a bench and can win without starters playing tons of minutes....in this case none for CB and Dice. Only 16 points from the real bench, but everybody contributed and the Warrior bench only scored 9 points with only Monta Ellis getting substantial PT

Anybody notce that Nelly pulled a Flip and played Davis 45 mins and Azubuike played the entire 48!!!

Great win, comeback and statement game for Flips follies...
