One man has the ability to change the atmosphere in an arena and after 10 years of futility, Baron Davis has Warriors fans hoping that the Oakland Coliseum can once again become an arena of glory.
He only scored 10 points, he only threw 8 assists, but it was clear that Chris Mullin has scored himself a legitimate All-Star, one of the best 2 or 3 point guards in the entire NBA. A player that will make Mike Dunleavy, Mickael Pietrus and Troy Murphy that much better and a player that will give Jason Richardson a reason to believe.
The Warriors gave the defending champion Pistons a fierce battle. Within minutes of Davis entering the game, he and Carlos Arroyo got into a shouting match, instantly making himself a man that his teammates can rely on to do whatever it takes to win.
The Pistons were too professional for the Warriors on this night, as Golden State went with a small line-up that created mismatches all over the court, freeing up Detroit for open jump shot after open jump shot.
All 5 Pistons' starters were in double figures, led by TayShaun Prince's 25 and Rasheed Wallace's 17.
Richardson also scored 25 points for the Warriors.

Baron Davis will suit up for Sunday's game versus the defending champion Detroit Pistons, but he will be coming off the bench.
Davis has a bruised Achilles tendon and will see limited minutes, but he is excited about playing for Golden State.
"This is a fresh start," Davis said. "I'm 25 years old, I haven't even reached my peak. It's just been a frustrating season because I've been injured, and I haven't been in a situation where I could really concentrate on getting healthy.
"Once your mind is clear, it's easy to get the body right."

Dale Davis has not reported to the New Orleans Hornets and his agents James Wells has told The San Francisco Chronicle that he is seeking a buy out.
Wells said he was in negotiations with the Hornets for a release and expected a resolution this weekend. Davis would like to join a playoff contender, and he would need to sign with a team by March 1 to be included on its playoff roster. Though Wells declined to name interested teams, a league source said the likeliest destinations are Indiana, Detroit and San Antonio.
