AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – Richard Hamilton scored 27 points and Rodney Stuckey added 21 points and nine assists to help the Detroit Pistons beat the Golden State Warriors 102-97 on Sunday night.

The Pistons have now won two straight after losing their first five games of the season. Golden State, which hasn't lost in four home games, is now 0-2 on the road.

Charlie Villanueva added 16 points and 10 rebounds off the bench for Detroit, while Tayshaun Prince scored 14.

Monta Ellis led Golden State with 24 points and Dorell Wright had 19.

The Warriors started the second half with an 18-5 run and led 76-73 going into the fourth quarter.

Hamilton, though, scored seven points in the first two minutes of the period to give Detroit a five-point advantage.

Stuckey and Ben Gordon both hit 3-pointers as the shot clock expired, keeping the Pistons ahead, but an Ellis jumper pulled the Warriors within 96-95 with 2:33 left.
