Like He Never Left: Chef Curry returns from a one-game absence to lead the Warriors back to the top seed

The Golden State Warriors win, coupled with Denver’s loss at Indiana earlier in the day, allowed the Dubs to move a half-game ahead of the Nuggets in the race for the best record in the Western Conference.

Stephen Curry scored 26 points on Sunday night as the Golden State Warriors shook off the embarrassment of a 35-point loss to the Dallas Mavericks one day earlier to turn back the Detroit Pistons 121-114.

The loss dropped Detroit from sixth to seventh in the Eastern Conference and further jumbled the five-team battle for the final three playoff spots. That duel also includes the Brooklyn Nets, Miami Heat, Orlando Magic and Charlotte Hornets.

Blake Griffin had 24 points, and Andre Drummond had a 12-point, 11-rebound double-double for the Pistons, who shot 46.4 percent overall and 12 for 31 (38.7 percent) on 3-pointers.
