Hidden Factors Behind San Antonio Spurs vs. Detroit Pistons That Could Shatter Scoring Expectations
The Pistons are a mediocre shooting team and often have to manufacture offense by hustling, such as putbacks and scoring off turnovers. That’s a problem here, since San Antonio is seventh in offensive turnover rate and leads the NBA in defensive rebounding rate.Â
Yes, February has been chopped up by the All-Star break. But Detroit is having its best month in key defensive categories: Points per game allowed (103.0 PPG) and defensive field goal percentage (43.2%). That’s not a profile that screams “Over,” even if last week’s box scores do.
