Daniss Jenkins scored a team-high 18 points for the Detroit Pistons in what could be his final game as a two-way player, leading the Pistons to a 118-80 rout of the New York Knicks on Friday night. The Pistons jumped out to a big first-half lead and cruised to victory, ending the Knicks' 8-game winning streak.

Why it matters

This game highlighted the Pistons' depth and ability to beat top teams, even without some key players. It also raises questions about Jenkins' future with the team, as his two-way contract is set to expire and the Pistons must decide whether to convert him to a full NBA deal.

The details

Jenkins, who is averaging 8.2 points and 3.3 assists per game this season, was playing in his 42nd game, the maximum allowed under his two-way contract. The Pistons must now decide whether to sign him to a full NBA deal to keep him on the roster. Tobias Harris and Isaiah Stewart each scored 15 points to support Jenkins, while the Knicks were led by Mikal Bridges' 19 points. New York struggled mightily, scoring a season-low 80 points.
