Detroit had a chance to tie it in the final seconds, but Reggie Jackson's wild drive to the basket did not lead to a good shot, and Klay Thompson made two free throws with 5.3 seconds left for the final margin.

Golden State went one for 12 from three-point range in the first half but took control by outscoring Detroit 31-17 in the third quarter. Thompson had 21 points.

Avery Bradley scored 25 points for the Pistons, who have lost five straight. Detroit led 50-46 at halftime.

Golden State led 77-67 after Quinn Cook made a 3-pointer at the buzzer at the end of the third quarter.

After Detroit cut the deficit to two in the fourth, Durant missed badly on an open three-pointer, then fell to the ground well after releasing the shot.

A foul was called on Detroit's Anthony Tolliver, and with the crowd booing, Durant made all three free throws for an 87-82 lead.

A three-pointer by Thompson made it 94-85. The Pistons scored the next four points and had the ball when Durant blocked Tolliver's perimeter shot and then dunked on a breakaway at the other end.

The Warriors had 15 blocked shots on the night.

A three-pointer by Bradley made it 100-98 with 22.7 seconds left, and Shaun Livingston missed two free throws for the Warriors, but Jackson wasn't able to tie it.

No NBA team has had a perfect trip of more than six games. Golden State became the first to go 6-0 on a trip since the Lakers in 2009, according to information the Warriors provided from the Elias Sports Bureau.
