?The Longest 5 Seconds of My Life?: Warriors Fans in Disbelief as Pistons Star Sinks GS With ?Wild? Play in the Absence of Stephen Curry

After winning five games in a row, the Golden State Warriors were handed their first loss of the New Year at the hands of the Detroit Pistons. A game that was closely fought throughout the four quarters. The Pistons barely made it out with a win, defeating the Warriors by three points, 122-119 in the absence of their star player.

Stephen Curry is still out of the starting lineup for the Warriors. However, an update on Curry?s return was given by the head coach, Steve Kerr, earlier today. This loss sustained at the hands of the Pistons surely made Warriors fans miss their sharpshooter.

The game became intensely competitive and interesting in the final 30 seconds of the game. The Pistons led by one point which was increased to a three-point margin after Killian Hayes drained two crucial free throws.

However, the Warriors’ other half of the splash duo, Klay Thompson hit a three-point dagger to tie the game in the hopes of forcing it into overtime. Pistons forward, Saddiq Bey, had other plans in mind as he drained the game-winning three with just one second left on the clock.
