Stephen Curry scores 26 points to help Warriors hold off Pistons, 113-109
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Moments after a hard-fought victory to finish back-to-back games at home, the Golden State Warriors found out they will be without veteran leader Chris Paul for the unforeseeable future.
Paul fractured his left hand in a 113-109 win over the Detroit Pistons on Friday night and will require surgery next week. He’s expected to return this season.
“I feel for him but at the same time it’s next man up,” rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis said. “Chris never loses his voice and so being on the bench, being able to talk to us, that’s one of his biggest attributes and that’s something that he won’t lose. He’ll still be invested in the game.”
Stephen Curry scored 12 of his 26 points over the final 1:32 with a pair of 3-pointers, emphatically answering after Bojan Bogdanovic’s go-ahead 3 with 1:41 to play as the Warriors held on to beat the last-place Pistons.
