BOX SCORE

SAN FRANCISCO – The Warriors’ first contest back home after a five-game road trip was a bizarre scene in multiple ways, resulting in a 115-110 win against the Detroit Pistons.

In the Warriors’ previous game, they immediately were down 8-0 to the Brooklyn Nets. Then Saturday night at Chase Center against the Pistons, the Warriors in an instant held a 9-0 lead – only for the Pistons to then go on an 8-0 run, prompting a timeout from coach Steve Kerr.

What happened ahead of the second quarter had the building in a brief panic. Basketball became secondary for a moment. A fire alarm flashed across the jumbotron, urging fans to exit the arena. About a minute or two later, it was deemed a false alarm.

But the fire alarm threw plenty of things out of whack, including the music and the public address system. For around 15 minutes of real time in the second quarter, the only sounds were basketball at its purest.

The game was mucked up and brought to a halt all night from the referees and their whistle. Between the two teams, a total of 56 fouls were called, resulting in 77 free-throw attempts. On a night where the Warriors made seven more 3-pointers than the Pistons but continued to struggle there overall, it was a Draymond Green three that surprisingly sealed the deal with 35 seconds to go.

Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler again were the one-two punch the Warriors needed. Curry dropped 32 points, and Butler had 26, his most since joining the Warriors. He also was one rebound shy of a double-double and added five assists.

Here are three takeaways from the Warriors’ win to begin their seven-game homestand.

The list of accomplishments Curry has enjoyed on a basketball court is an infinite scroll. Another milestone was reached Saturday in the third quarter.

Curling off a screen from Green, Curry cashed in from long distance for his 17th point of the night, allowing him to eclipse more than 25,000 points in his illustrious 16-year NBA career.

Road fans watched Curry dominate the past five games,…
