In their last three games, the Pistons have shown a potent offense but have struggled to contain their opponents defensively. Scoring an impressive 125 points against Utah Jazz and 110 points against Denver Nuggets indicates that they have no trouble finding the basket. Their field goal percentage has been hovering around 50 percent in these games, with a particularly strong showing from beyond the arc at 50 percent against Utah and an efficient free-throw rate of approximately 90 percent.


However, defensive challenges are evident as they allowed 116 points to Utah and even more concerning was conceding 137 points to Sacramento Kings. This suggests that while Detroit's offense can keep up with high-scoring affairs, tightening up their defense will be crucial for success.


The team has demonstrated depth in scoring with bench players contributing significantly – accounting for over half of total points in some instances. Rebounding numbers have been solid too; however turnovers and defensive efficiency remain areas for improvement.


Detroit's ability to score from fast breaks and second-chance opportunities has been notable as well – aspects they will hope to capitalize on during this upcoming game.


As we look ahead to this matchup at Footprint Center, it is clear that if Detroit can leverage its offensive firepower while shoring up its defense, they could pose a serious challenge for Phoenix Suns. Fans should expect an engaging contest filled with strategic plays and dynamic scoring runs from both sides.


The game is scheduled for November 26th at Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona. Fans eager not to miss any action can tune into BSAZ or BSDETX networks depending on their location or follow live updates online.
