4th Quarter
The pesky Pistons never gave up hope; both teams defended well and kept open shots to a minimum. With five minutes to play, the Warriors held a 92-80 lead with Shaun Livingston free throws coming. The free throws gave the Dubs a comfortable 15 point lead. An unorthodox line up was in to try and finish off the Pistons. It consisted of Bogut, Green, Barbosa, Thompson, and Livingston. Livingston scored his tenth point off a baseline lay in and was effective off the bench. The Pistons kept hanging around, but ultimately the Warriors were too much. The Warriors win their 9th game in a row by beating the Pistons 104-93.
