As we approach this upcoming contest in Indianapolis, it is clear that while wins have been scarce for Detroit this season, their recent outings suggest an uptick in offensive production and clutch play-making abilities. The key will be maintaining consistency on both ends of the floor and managing turnovers which have plagued them throughout these past performances.
