However, defense remains an area for improvement for Detroit as both San Antonio Spurs and Golden State managed to score over one hundred points against them in recent games. The team will need to tighten up defensively if they hope to contain Philadelphia's potent offense.


Fans should expect an energetic contest where Detroit aims to leverage its fast-break opportunities and minimize turnovers while improving defensive stands throughout each quarter.


The upcoming game is scheduled for January 11th at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Fans can catch all the action on BSDET or NBCS-PH networks depending on their location.
