After trailing by 18 midway through the fourth quarter, Detroit rallied and cut the deficit to 102-98 with 1:21 remaining in the game on a basket by Jalen Duren.

A dunk by Beasley with 23 seconds left made sliced the gap to 104-102.

Golden State's Gui Santos was fouled after rebounding Cunningham's miss on the second free throw, and he split a pair of free throws with 9.6 seconds left to put Golden State up 107-103.

Cunningham was fouled again and made the first of two free throws with 4.8 seconds left to make it 107-104, and then got his own rebound after missing the second one on purpose.

However, Beasley missed a 3-point attempt for a tie just before the buzzer.

Leading 82-78 with 10:21 left, Golden State went on a 10-0 run to grab a 14-point lead with 7:35 remaining on a 3-pointer by Hield.
