The Philadelphia 76ers want to continue playing an uptempo style on offense in transition, but their issues on defense have become problematic.

"I want to persevere with this style of playing because with the group that we have, the talent base and the experience, we are not going to beat those teams that we have beaten playing any other way," Brett Brown said.

The 76ers are averaging 17.8 turnovers per game, which had led to a lot of easy baskets for opponents.
