Warriors dealt fourth defeat of season

Detroit celebrated former Pistons great Ben Wallace on Saturday with a win over the NBA's current best, handing the Golden State Warriors just their fourth defeat of the season.

The Pistons beat the Warriors 113-95, Golden State's second defeat in three games and a perfect ending for Detroit fans to a night that saw their club retire four-time defensive player of the year Wallace's No 3 jersey in their Palace at Auburn Hills arena at halftime.

Pistons point guard Reggie Jackson and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had 20 points apiece and Detroit led by double digits throughout the second half.
