Stanley Johnson erupted for 19 points off the bench and Reggie Jackson added 17 as the Pistons converted 43 of 98 filed goals (43.9 percent) and 12 of 35 from downtown (34.3 percent). "That's obviously a great win. You could tell by the crowd and the atmosphere tonight that we are facing a big team, and we protected our home floor, "a victorious Griffin told reporters post-game. Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson combined for 49 points for Golden State, but the defending champs couldn't get their 3-point shooting in high gear, making only six of 26 from long distance.
