Detroit Vs New York, NBA: 2-Way Daniss Jenkins Inspires Pistons To Commanding 118-80 Win Over Knicks

In a clash of the Eastern Conference's top two teams, the Detroit Pistons humbled visiting New York Knicks 118-80 on Friday night at Little Caesars Arena, with the two-way player Daniss Jenkins scoring 18 points in his last game. It was the 24-year-old guard's 50th game and 42nd of the season, meaning he is no longer eligible for NBA games under his two-way contract. Now, the Pistons must convert his deal to a full NBA contract to keep him. The win extended Detroit's regular-season winning streak against New York to five and ended the Knicks' winning run at eight games. For the Pitons, Isaiah Stewart and ⁠Tobias Harris contributed with 15 points apiece, while Mikal Bridges was the Knicks' leading scorer ​with 19. Both teams will be on the road for their next assignments: the Knicks face the Boston Celtics on Sunday, and the Pistons at Charlotte for a clash with the Hornets the following day.
