AUBURN HILLS, Michigan (Ticker) -- Baron Davis and the GoldenState Warriors are rounding into the form that made them one ofthe most exciting and dangerous teams in the NBA last season.

The Warriors will take their high-scoring show on the road onSunday when they visit the Detroit Pistons.


Golden State fought for a tough, 108-106, win over the LosAngeles Lakers on Friday, with Davis knocking down a 3-pointerwith 17 seconds left to give his team a four-point cushion. Itwas the Warriors' 14th win in their last 18 games afterbeginning the season 0-6.


The final loss in that season-opening skid was a 111-104 setbackto the Pistons on November 14 in which Golden State squandereda 22-point lead. The current version of the Warriors is muchdifferent due to the fact that captain Stephen Jackson, who wassuspended the first seven games of the season, has returned tothe lineup.


Detroit is due to have a different look on Sundayas well, as the team expects its two newest members - WalterHerrmann and Primoz Brezec - to be on the court. The Pistonssent center Nazr Mohammed to the Charlotte Bobcats for Brezecand Herrmann on Friday.


Detroit has won eight of its last 10 games, including a 91-81victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. Chauncy Billups ledthe change against the Hawks with 23 points.
