Pistons halt Knicks 8-game streak
LOS ANGELES (AFP) — The Detroit Pistons ended the New York Knicks’ eight-game National Basketball Association winning streak on Friday, routing the Knicks 118-80 in a top of the table Eastern Conference clash.
Daniss Jenkins scored 18 points off the bench while Tobias Harris and Isaiah Stewart added 15 points apiece for East leaders Detroit.
The Pistons, coming off an embarrassing loss to the lowly Washington Wizards on Thursday, took control in the first quarter and never trailed over the final three periods.
They pushed their lead to as many as 43 points against a Knicks team playing without injured Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby.
Mikal Bridges led the Knicks with 19 points as Jalen Brunson was held to 12 on four-of-20 shooting.
The Knicks’ win streak had seen them pull level with Boston for second place in the East, but they slipped to third as the Celtics erased a 22-point deficit to beat the Miami Heat 98-96.
